So how many more stories of these drives being absolute garbage do we all have?
Of all the drives I’ve ever owned. From Hitachi, Maxxtor, Seagate, Western Digital and others…this is the only one I’ve had that died. Apparently this is a trend with these particular drives?
This one is currently a paperweight
Seagate Barracuda was so bad it literally became an inside joke in our school.
One of the classrooms had like around 10 computers, every single one of them had Barracuda on board.
I remember the PC I was working on started malfunctioning, so I jokingly slammed my desk with a fist, and to my surprise, the PC spit out a bluescreen, soon it turned out to be a HDD failure. I knew I wasn’t in any trouble, I didn’t even hit the table that hard.
The very next day, the PC on a completely different side of the room failed to boot. Yep, another Barracuda bit the dust that day.
Fast forward the next six or so days, all HDDs were dead. Literally all of the Barracudas we had died within a week.
It was so funny, because one of my classmates even said that mounting these Barracudas on school PC’s was a bad idea, because he had one at home before and it died on him, but we all thought that he was just talking shit.
