I purchased my Seagate 2TB Backup Plus Portable Drive less than a year ago and all of the sudden it stopped working. I called their Warranty department and they told me they could send me a new portable drive, however I would have to pay to recover all of my data. So, in total about $650 to recover data that should be covered with the warranty or at least portion of it! I've had about 5 WD external drives and I can still go back to the very first I purchased 10 years ago and it still works without any issues.
