I like to have a collection of good music, movies, pictures, games.and all I need to fulfill my need is an external hdd.my first hdd I bought it from local computer market in lalbagh lucknow in year 2002.it was amazing as per its speed of transferring my files and streaming my movies and playing my games.it impressed me so much that I bought 4 more hdd in subsequent years, such is its reliability. seagate makes rock solid hdds. I will refer it to everyone. earlier seagate used to come with a 5 year warranty but now it comes with only 3 years.but need not worry, it will last more than a decade as per my experience with it. My uncle is using seagate brand internal hdd for last 9 years which runs 6 hours a day 5 days a week.As the external hdd are not used continuously generally so it will make its life longer . As I have 5 seagate external hdd once I got trouble with one of them, I took it to seagate service center and they got it corrected the same day, so seagate service is unparalled.Actually it was my data cable cut down by mice:).
