![]() Now I know not to use a brand new drive for important data. Yes I am using Seagates data recovery plan. Never trust a brand new drive with critical data imho. Do make sure to check if the warranty is valid, though.īathtub curve for harddrives is super real. With Seagate, they come with a year or two of data recovery for Exos, Skyhawk, and IronWolf Pro drives, I think? So you can probably get your critical data back, if not quickly. If it does, you can thrash the drive for a few months to see if it fails, replace it if it does, and put it into regular use if it doesn't. Check descriptions to see if it should come with warranty. Sometimes ""new"" drives from amazon, ebay, or newegg sellers won't come with warranty. I guess Seagate just has higher yields than expected, and so they have overstock of exos drives? I spent over 800 USD trying to make my data more secure and have now ended up in a worse position then when I only spent 80 USD on used hardware and no cloud or backup.ĮDIT: I have been backing up my files to USB since I cant afford to alter the file structure on my cloud service.Įxos is rated for higher workrates. This has been an annoyance over the past months hopping the data recovery professionals can get my documents, photos, and videos. ![]() Previously, I had been salvaging drives from dead tech and using them and I had no issues with data loss until I decided to listen to expert opinion. Even worse was the fact that the new EXOS drive was my first brand new hard drive I had bought in years. So annoying I really thought my photos would be safer on the shiney new harddruve. I had to get the 1 week old hard drive data recovered which was quite annoying and sad as I had just erased my dying raid array of eight 500GB used eBay harddrives. I was trying for the 1 2 3 strategy but my brand new 10TB EXOS drive failed mid upload to cloud.
