Roller Coaster Drive

I hold Seagate in high esteem - quality products. This was straight 5's from May 14th until 8:10 July 24th when the drive departed this world with one final blinking blue light and then gone. Having no tolerance for annoying things I must rate this for what it is worthless. Now a solution may exist after just running through Seagate's troubleshooting site and if there is a solution I'll make my mea culpa and eat crow. Had a total of 690GB on it and just ordered another of these. I can get the data back but the time it took to create it is what annoys me. Times money.
