Blech.
The newly arrived #Seagate IronWolf drive is toast.
SMART data checks ok, can format as #BTRFS, but the moment I try to write anything to it, all hell breaks loose and the drive basically becomes unresponsive until a reboot (or unplug and re-insert if I had it in the USB enclosure).

Gotta a pickup scheduled with the supplier (#WootWare down in the Cape), hopefully they agree with me and I can get it swapped....

Anyway, always be kind to the people that are serving you in order to resolve your issue. I always made sure to do this and it's always done everyone good, they're just doing their jobs and are there to help you after all.

I've went through this and had the same experience with
#Noctua who sent me additional mounting kits for free when I had bought the wrong cooler set for the wrong platform, #UGreen when one of my chargers weren't performing as advertised (they made me physically smash the charger they were replacing lmao), my overpriced #Razer mouse, and some #Seagate hard drives.

The only "bad" experience I've had with warranty was with a Chinese
#Shopee or #AliExpress seller I had bought a used (with "warranty") #AMD Ryzen 7 1700 CPU they'd sent me with bent pins, saying that issue "wasn't their fault", and also with the retailer that had sold me my #Nothing Phone 1 - tho in that case I believe it was an issue with Nothing's incompetence to keep their phones in stock, not the retailer themselves.

Storage winners and losers in Trump's #tariff-happy world

#US tariffs to heavily impact #HDD and #SSD, increasing costs
#Seagate, #Toshiba, and #WesternDigital have different supply chains, but subject to risks of substantial tariffs, particularly on drives produced in China (124%), Malaysia (24%), Philippines (17%), and Thailand (36%).

#NAND fabricated in Japan or Singapore but diced, tested, and packaged in China, the SSD origin is very likely to be considered China.
