George is 100% right....   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 ....

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
