The situation outlined above is unacceptable. We need to have some trust in our storage device's ability to store and deliver our data at advertised speeds. This product line has failed and continues to fail as a reliable high-speed digital storage device.
We are seeking replacement of the affected 840 model series units with newer 850 model series units of the same or larger size only. We are not seeking replacement with the exact same model. All replacements should be from brand new stock; not refurbished/repackaged/B-stock/etc.
Thank you.
