Seagate GoFlex Turbo Hard Drives Feature Free Data Recovery

By

Seagate today unveiled the GoFlex Turbo performance drive with SafetyNet data recovery services (DRS). SafetyNet data recovery is the first recovery service offering by a hard drive manufacturer to be included as part of the purchase price of an external drive. This latest addition to the GoFlex family was developed with the understanding that those who place a high value on their data should have the peace of mind that their data is even more secure regardless of what unforeseen incident might occur to the drive. Legit Reviews had a chance to speak with Seagate about this announcement and really love the idea. The data recovery will be done at i365, which is owned by Seagate, and should be completed in about two weeks if the drive needs to go into the lab. The data recovery will be done in a clean room setting and Seagate says up to $2900 in data recovery services will be offered before declaring the drive unrecoverable. If the data is able to be recovered it will be put onto a new drive and then sent back to you. The data recovery is also transferable, so if you sell the drive and never use the single use data recovery option the next person has the ability to use it if they have a drive failure or just delete something on accident and want it back. The new GoFlex Turbo performance drive features two-years of SafetyNet data recovery services and is now available from Best Buy for a manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) of $119.99 for 500GBs and $139.99 for 750GBs.
