The effort ( if any, if part of the warranty, if they feel like it) Seagate will use to retrieve your data is significantly less than the effort some third person company will put in. Use another company to retrieve your date, THEN send the drive to Seagate for warranty replacement...... Same is true of any drive manufacturer.... And yes, it will cost you..... a bunch. These external drives should be used for backups... not original data retention areas. Or use multiples for prime data storage...... same data on 2 or 3 drives..... that way your data is always in a few places .... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net if you need the data do not send the unit back to seagate until you've retrieved the data i doubt seagate will care about your data they will simply send a new drive Fond regards, George
