Windows-8 started warning me yesterday, that one of my Seagate HDD's is starting to fail. I already saw it some time ago when I checked my drives with CrystalDiskInfo, that this particular drive was not in a very good shape anymore, but didn't worry too much, as I had only recovered some speed issues when I checked the drive via ATTO DiskBench.
After the Windows-Warning-Messages kept coming-up, I checked the drive via SeaTools and as you can see above, the drive failed.
When I checked the Seagate Website about warranty info's, I was surprised that the HDD is still in warranty and that I would have the option to RMA it directly via Seagate or via Synnex.
Had someone ever to deal with Seagate or Synnex and could suggest which way would be better to go, as Synnex is only 10 minutes drive down the road from where I live ?
