Has anyone RMA'd to Seagate? Was wondering if I could get your costs/experience and how long it took to return.

They say they need something called a 'seashell' which is an anti static case the same shape as the hdd or anti static bag.

How would I go about RMA'ing?

Heh he doesn't know how to use the seashells!

Not impressed!

you know the static bags they come in when you buy them, send it to them in that, and they usually take about 2-3 weeks on average

Shouldn't you have a screenshot from Demolition Man to go with that "sea shell" joke?

Nice Demo man reference smart ass lol. Actually it was hilarious, i read it half drunk at my buddies house and damn near pissed myself haha.

Good to know that using a regular anti-static bag is fine, I thought I'd have to order these 'seashells' from Seagate, which in turn would cost too much to justify sending it away. Also 2-3 weeks is about 1/8th the time I expected to wait. Just don't know if adding a 250gb IDE to compliment my 320gb raid array would be worth it. But I guess I can always fill it up with music and movies.

Thanks for the help guys!

Note: Just took a look around the house for an anti-static bag, no luck. I knew I shoulda kept them. I'm assuming best bet for getting one would be to head over to a local computer shop and see if they got any laying around?

yeah any computer shop should have a box full of those static bags
