Me again. I own a lemon Seagate 138N (3.5" 30 Meg SCSI hard drive).
I have three questions:
1. What is Seagate's address? The department that handles bad drives
would be fine.
2. Does everybody else who bought Seagates only get that print-out that
says "PASSED" on it (and very little else, like NO address).
How/where can I get some more info including their warranty (IN
WRITING)?
3. Has anybody who has the spin-up problem try parking the heads before
turning it off? In any event, anybody know how to park the heads?
Or does it do so on its own after a period of non-activity?
4. (OK, I lied: four questions) Periodically when my hard disk is
inactive it does a brief "chugachugachugachuga." Is it the drive or
the controller (2090A)? What's'it doin'?
Reply via e-mail or post as you see fit. I'll summarize and post
anything I get. The more info distributed about Seagate drives the better.
Thanks,
joe piazza
