I bought this drive in February of this year and within 60 days, it was whirring and running slowly. Now it's messing up daily in one way or another.Seagate's "five year warranty" means they'll replace your drive with a refurbished drive, and I figure if a new one was no good, a refurbished one won't be any better. They suggested I return it to the store to see if maybe the store would replace it with a new one (which they wouldn't). I have no choice but to replace my brand new hard drive with a refurbished one.
