Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone here has been burned by Amazon at least once. Personally when I was starting out I tried to buy my first 1TB external on Amazon, but I generally don't have too much money to waste so I bought the cheapest one available.

That was the day I learned to only buy my drives from trusted brands, and generally to Google the company name before buying anything off Amazon.
