Defective Hard Disks --- Bakit binibili?

[starfugger]

curious ako.  someone offered to buy my dad's deffective disks for 800 a piece.    ang pagkaka-alam ko once sira na ang hd hindi na ito marerepair... mali ba?  what do people need from old drives? 

incidentally, meron akong mejo malfunctioning HD and i need to have the data extracted.  may marerecommend ba kayo na mag-eextract ng data? magkano kaya to aabutin? thanks!

Seagate has an extended warranty of something like 5 years for their hard disks. Not a lot of people know that. The buyers search Seagate's database if the defective disks are covered by warranty and send the disks back to Seagate for repair/replacement. They often sell them back at a profit.

You can send the disks to Seagate Singapore for RMA (as long as you check their warranty) or you can go to Fritz Logistics along Pascor Drive Ext. (near the Domestic Airport I think) in P'que.

I think jepoy knows some data recovery guys, but if your disk is doing the click of death, might as well send it to Seagate. Don't know about other brand disks, though (Maxtor is owned by Seagate so that is covered by their warranty).

that's true nakapg sauli na ko ng maxtor HD one time and got it back after 3 weeks (bnew).. there are lots of techs and shops who offers data recovery services as well.. sa TPC dami..

try mo yung online virus scan ng trendmicro.
punta ka ng trendmicro.com tapos click mo yung "housecall"

i'm not just sure, but i think it will cost you on the shipping if you send it to seagate...  if you return it to the store dealer, of course they just offered you the 1 year warranty so you'll end needing to contact the supplier (which doesn't accept items from end-users because only their dealers can return the items to them)...

to cut it short... i think those guys that buy defective hard drives have an "insider" from dealers/supplier... they send these hard drives in bulks...

i was able to do it once (but with a motherboard instead), store/dealer warranty is lapsed (1 year warranty unless you're a company where warranties can be arranged, but supplier warranty to dealer is longer (3 years?)...

yung shipping lang po papuntang fritz logistics (office ng UPS sa parañaque, near casino filipino) ang babayaran mo ,or yung pamasahe mo lang papunta sa office nila. then sila na ang mag dadala sa seagate singapore... then padadaa na sa address mo yung "replacement HD" mo. kahit paisa isa... nasubukan ko na yan   

pero dapat pasok pa sa waranty yung hard drive mo, pwede chek yun sa website ng seagate.

Ayun! Thanks for the correction. I knew it was near an airport. Forgot the casino was near NAIA.

@briant - I hope this dispels any doubts.

 So pano nila malalaman kung defective yun HD mo? idedeclare mo ba kahit di na itest? yun sakin kasi minsan di sha ma detect.

[cool2ny]

So pano nila malalaman kung defective yun HD mo?

malalaman ng fritz o ng seagate???

sa fritz, d na nila ttest yung hd mo, basta bibigay mo lang yung drive mo sakanila, kasama yung pprint mo na form from seagate website, tapos may pipirmahan ka sakanila (resibo)

sa seagate d ko na alam panong test gagawin nila, pero papalitan yung drive mo ng may nakatatak na "factory repaired"

yun sakin kasi minsan di sha ma detect.

check mo cables baka yun ang may problema...  na experience ko na dati ganun, pinalitan ko yung cable (naka connect sa mobo) ok na sya.

Pero bnew na yun? may sticker lan na ganyan? thx

[cool2ny]

Pero bnew na yun? may sticker lan na ganyan? thx

hmmm, kung papansinin mo, medyo d na makintab yung replacement hard drive eh... parang luma nga sya. . . compare sa bagong bili na makintab yung drive.

pero ok lang, seagate naman galing eh... saka yung 20 gig ko pag balik 40 gig na

I actually had two hard disks replaced -- both from Seagate. I spent around 300 bucks for shipping it to Paranaque (who then sent it to Singapore). I think within a week, they sent me the replacement hard disks.

Take note that the replacement are not brand new -- they are merely refurbished. But so far, it works quite well. It's just month #2, so let's see.

Ginagawang palu-palo ng labada

JOKE!

([gooey brown stuff], sing-corny co si Willie)

[marzi]

basta dont expect a new hdd pag nag send ka sa depot ng manufacturer...laging refurbished ang binibigay nila lalo na pag di na marerepair ang damage sa hdd...swerte na yung nakaka recieve ng doubled hdd size kagaya ni Cool2ny dahil usually like for like ang replacement nila...
