Purchased my 1.5TB back in mid-November. Took it out of the box, connected it to my Lenovo laptop, followed the instructions, backed-up my laptop hard drive, and now am essentially unable to use the drive. Everytime I plug-in the drive I get a "Delayed Write Failed" error within about 10 to 30 seconds.
Yes I have tried everything under the "Troubleshooting" section with no luck. If I didn't need the information on the drive Seagate may just be getting a package in the mail with something that resembles a hard drive. I have tired calling Customer Support but after an hour on the phone listening to the same music over and over I had other priorities in life to take care of so had to hang up.
I've read several of the other posts on this forum but everything seems to point that Seagate knows this is an issue but hasn't provided a true fix. Try this, try that is not a fix. Granted many of us on this board are probably willing to take an extra step or two to get something to work but this is ridiculous. I didn't pay $225 just to have a fancy looking paperweight. I have rocks in the yard that can serve that purpose. I always associated Seagate with quality but am quickly changing my opinion.
Apologies if this is a bit of a rant but honestly I have not come across this type of problem before. Usually it's "yes we know there is a problem and expect to have a resolution shortly" (and usually do) or "please return it and we'll refund your money".
