Thanks Mark, order placed. I wish Seagate in the UK had an advanced replacement scheme, then the 5 year warranty might actually be useful. Still at least I'll have a spare for next time

Maxtor used to IIRC. (Before Seagate bought them)

I spent about 45 minutes harranguing their tech support people, escalating it etc etc a few weeks back (slow work day) asking how I was supposed to get data onto my new drive if I'd sent the old one back? Was I supposed to copy it onto paper? I bought Maxtor because of the advance replacement; yada yada.

On the other hand Samsung are fabulous - I think you need to send them a cheque and they send back a drive by return. When the RMA drive gets to them they send back the cheque.

I buy Samsung where I can now
