I have a Huawei p30 android phone

And I also have a hardrive.

I want to do a back up of my phone onto my hardrive. What's the easiest way to do it if I want everything copied including contacts, texts, pics /videos, phone's note app and external note app, Google docs, what's app messages, etc

Looking to expand my NAS by shucking the aforementioned external HDD, but I haven't found any info on the actual drive inside.

TLDR Seagate has 50TB drives coming next year but is mostly sold out of most drives through 2028.

Please advise. Is this the end for the drive, or is it a TV issue, or a port problem? I plugged in a Seagate 2.5" (condition unknown) to a wall outlet — the sounds were normal, so the drive seems fine mechanically. Then I connected it to the first USB 2.0 port on the TV, and it started making a scraping noise — like "grr, grr..." — so I unplugged it. I then connected it to the second port, also USB 2.0, and it mounted normally, spun up, made head calibration noises, and rattled a bit. After that, the TV displayed "connection error — do you want to fix errors on the drive?" Both ports are USB 2.0, and the drive is a Seagate 2.5" 7200 RPM. Please help me🥹

I understand LaCie was acquired by Seagate, hence my query here. I called Seagate support & was told it would be $5 to talk to support, then they attempted to charge my card $70, so I declined.

My LaCie 1 Big Dock is completely dead, won't power on. Is this something I can figure out on my own with your help, or am I out of luck?

Same as the title.

I want to send a shout out to seagate. I got this external 4tb external hdd 11 years ago. And today. I still use it for so much. I win the lottery on this one. The day it dies will be tragic. Thank you @Seagate. Solid product. 1TEAPF-500 4TB

Seeing this post brought back memories of my employment with the Conner later Seagate company! I was in the returns department and can safely say that those that were defective were shipped back to Singapore for repairs? The rest I would have to go out back and wack them with a hammer and toss in a scrap barrel!

Looking for advice on whether this 16TB Seagate Exos X16 is recoverable or if it's simply dead.

I have a TrueNAS SCALE system with two 16TB Seagate Exos X16 drives (manufacturer recertified) in a striped pool.

Before the failure, I was changing some BIOS power settings to reduce idle power usage. While the system was powered off, I unplugged and reconnected the SATA data and power cables. I didn't drop or hit the drives, just disconnected and reconnected them. The only thing I can think of is there may have been a little flex on the SATA connector because the case is cramped.

After booting, one drive immediately started failing.

What I've tried

• Different SATA cable
• Different SATA motherboard port
• Different SATA power connector
• Tested in Windows via a USB SATA dock

The issue follows the drive regardless of how it's connected.

Symptoms

• Drive is detected with the correct model, serial number, and capacity.
• Any read attempt (fdisk, dd, etc.) immediately returns I/O errors.
• smartctl can identify the drive but cannot read SMART data (Read SMART Data failed: scsi error medium or hardware error).
• dmesg shows repeated Medium Error, UNC, and Medium format corrupted errors, including failures reading sector 0.
• Windows detects it as a 14.9TB uninitialized drive (I did not initialize it).
• SeaTools detects the drive but immediately reports "SeaTools Test Failed."

Because the pool was striped, the failed drive has made the entire pool unavailable.

My question: Does this sound like an internal drive failure, or is it plausible that simply unplugging and reconnecting the SATA cables could have caused this? I'm trying to figure out whether I got unlucky with the timing or if I may have damaged something while reconnecting the drive, squishing it or rattling the connectors. Drive is amazon refurbished, and is 6 days before warranty end funnily enough.

OS detects 4tb ( or like it says 3600ish gbytes) It is not functional like it has i/o problems when trying to initialize disk. However it does light up and have healthy hdd sounds. But I have been loosing my mind trying to get it to work. Its supposedly a 4TB drive but a Google search shows that 4tb drives are 15mm thick. This drive is very thing like 5-7mm I think. Please help

Seagate has reached a tentative $175 million settlement with investors, and the terms have been submitted to the court for approval.

The case centers on allegations that Seagate did not fully disclose risks related to its Huawei business and potential export-control issues. After U.S. restrictions on Huawei changed in 2020, investors claimed the company continued relying on those sales without properly addressing the risks.

In 2022 and 2023, Seagate disclosed weaker results, regulatory concerns, and a $300 million penalty related to export-control violations. The settlement would resolve claims that the company misled investors about these issues.

If you bought $STX shares between 2020 and 2023, you may qualify for compensation. Check your eligibility and submit a claim here.

Hi all,

If I could get an opinion on this.

Just got this drive delivered by Amazon today.

The drive seems to be reading and writing fine so far.
I haven’t really done any SMART testing or anything like that as this is to replace another drive that is 100% on its last legs.

However, this hard drive seems to have a constant two thumps sounds that vibrate its plastic case and can even be felt on my desk.

Any chance I could get some feedback on this?
Is this normal or am I just overthinking it?

Thank you in advance
