Data Recovery On Seagate External Hard Disk

This is the best external hard disk by far on the market today. Don't bother with Seagate, this is the one to get and BH PhotoVideo is the place to get it!

Purchased to be a data disk for a new Windows 7 setup. Don't bother trying to get the Seagate DiscWizard to work (it never did for us). Windows 7 was fine for formatting.

I chose this drive because although a previous LaCie (Seagate) failed me, the technicians sent me a new disk with my data restored. You don't need to know how and why the backup of the drive also failed, but the result was that I needed and received my data back via the recovery services that come with these drives. And they are easy and fast and reliable, in short, you get what you are shopping for. I have not figured out how to turn off the disco-dancing led light show that plays when the drive is in use, but I put tape over it. It still wastes my electric power, but it is less distracting covered up.

The hard drive in my Dell 620 (Seagate ST31000524AS) was failing ... causing slow operation and repeatedly throwing reports of disk errors, bad sectors, etc. despite my attempts at repair using a variety of programs. After finally getting a successful disk image from the original drive using Macrium Reflect, I swapped the drives and loaded the disk image onto this replacement. On restart my PC booted right up from this drive and it's been running like new since.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LaCie Rugged Mini is a portable hard drive that is designed to be tough and durable. It is shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof, making it ideal for taking on the go. The drive also comes with Rescue Data Recovery Services, which can help you recover your data if it is lost. The Rugged Mini is available in capacities of up to 4TB, so you can store all of your important files on it. It also features a USB 3.0 interface, which provides fast transfer speeds. In terms of performance, the Rugged Mini is very good. I was able to transfer files to and from the drive at speeds of up to 130MB/s. The drive is also very quiet, so you won't be disturbed by it when you are working on your computer. Overall, the LaCie Rugged Mini is a great portable hard drive. It is tough, durable, and fast. It also comes with Rescue Data Recovery Services, which is a great peace of mind. Here are some of the pros and cons of the Rugged Mini: Pros: Tough and durable Waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof Fast transfer speeds Rescue Data Recovery Services Cons: Not as portable as some other external hard drives Overall, I would highly recommend the LaCie Rugged Mini to anyone who is looking for a tough and durable portable hard drive. It is a great choice for people who travel often or who work in environments where their data might be at risk.

At first I was skeptical with the dimensions that my Seagate 2TB External Hard Drive would fit into this case. I called the store and the gentleman assured me it would. So, I got it. This case provides the protection I need to carry my External Hard Drive from one location to another and with the hard-shell design, I can have confidence that my external hard drive will function when I plug it in to my laptop.

Seagate did as advertised. It was truly plug and play, with no reformatting, hard disk erasures, or special apps. Whether one is not inclined to do extra operations ,or maybe not prepared, Seagate solves our problems. Great product.

I just added the WD 4TB Elements External Desktop Hard Disk Drive to my� back up solution (6 hard drives) and Windows 10.� I disconnected the power and USB cable from a full WD hard drive and replaced it with this new drive and fired it up. It works great, just like I would expect from Western Digital.

This is my favorite external disk now!

Scan disk is my go to for back up data
