Seagate Hard drive RMA process?

    hey guys,

    My seagate 500GB HDD just died and i checked the warranty online and its still under warranty

    I have already bought a new HDD but am considering doing an RMA on my faulty seagate drive

    It appears that i have to pay for the shipping to seagate but it doesn't say which country i would have to ship the drive to

    It also appears that i may just get a refurbished drive back from them so im wondering if the expense is worth it?

    Has anybody been through this process with seagate?

    How much did the shipping cost you?

    Would appreciate any feedback.

    Cheers

    Costs about a tenner to post to the UK. You get a 'recertified' drive back.

    The drives I got back all started developing bad sectors very quickly and most of them died quicker than the originals.

    If its under warranty and the drive is worth more than the postage cost then you may as well do it.
