    I owned a Xbox branded HDD that stopped working after 60 days. It was exactly 61 days. I had tried to get a refund at Best Buy where I bought it and they refused because their return policy said 60 days.

    I simply refuse to purchase a Seagate product ever again.

      Guessing this wasn’t in Europe. Consumer protection laws actually do stuff over here. Goods must be fit for purpose, and there’s no fixed limit for how long that is. A refund after two years wouldn’t be unreasonable for a hard drive and likely to succeed.

        wasn’t in the US New England area either, we have consumer protections that block that type of fraud here.

      You know that drive has a 1 year warranty, right?

      HDDs have a bathtub failure curve no matter who makes them.
