For this external hard drive I had decided, despite the much higher price, since it should be much more secure by US standards than competing products. Purchased in March 2012, she was completely without reason in May 2012 its ghost. Evening still used, the next morning found the PC while the hard drive, but could not scan data. Also change the PC brought nothing. An expert said succinctly with reference to the noise that it does not start. Since the hard drive had allegedly high safety standard, unfortunately some data are out of which there is no backup. The external hard drive must now be opened by a specialized company for data backup. And now comes the real HAMMER: multiple demand from the dealer (company Easy Tec GmbH, Managing Director Mr. Oliver Schmidt-Krayer) revealed that he refuses any guarantee settlement when the hard disk is opened. Easy Tec itself but makes neither backup nor repair, but only sends back the disc's manufacturer. In addition to the high cost of data backup now you stay as a customer even sit on the cost of an expensive disk that absolutely no good. No understanding, no grace. I am appalled.
