Geeks.com: Sent bad Maxtor 500gb hard drive

Feb 20, 2008

Computergeeks complaint by Dem

I recently purchased two Maxtor 6H500F0 hard drives from Geeks.com, one arriving completely unreadable. It gives a constant, loud clicking sound.

I have sent numerous emails requesting an RMA. No response has ever been received.

Went to Seagate-Maxtor web site and they don't have the serial number on file. I downloaded the maxtor diagnostic utility and tried it on the disk. Although it recognized the drive, the program just kept sending constant error messages and later froze. It works fine on the other disk.

Called Geeks.com and they always say a tech-rep will contact me but never does.

They may have shafted me out of my 100 dollars but they lost any future business from me.

I bought this from Geeks.com, and when it arrived, " It gives a constant, loud clicking sound" as one other person here said regarding a hard drive that he bought from them. I've e-mailed them numerous times, but they have not responded.
