SEAGATE HDD
Latest updated [21 Nov 2009] For all SEAGATE HDDs, can send to three locations (Changi South, Funan, China Square) for RMA based on the instructions in the RMA procedure, instead of sending it down personally. The time for the drive to be returned is unknown.

There is two distributers in Singapore. To check which one to go, pls visit the website to find out more.

RMA Website: http://support.seagate.com/customer/warranty_validation.jsp

RMA Address (Updated 18 Dec07)
SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL C/O UPS SCS (SINGAPORE) PTE LTD UPS HOUSE #03-00, 22 CHANGI S AVE 2 SINGAPORE 486064

Reach via: Expo MRT. Walk around 20 minutes along Changi South Ave, before turning in to Ave 2. The Distribution center is located in the UPS house. Go in through the Side Gate where there is a guard Post. Exchange for a pass. Go straight and climb up the stairs to 3nd storey. Another guard will open the door for you and lead you to the Seagate RMA department. A lady will issue an acknowledgment for the HDD received. Note: Dont go to the main entrance where there is electronic barrier. It is not transpass-able. Adviseable to drive or cycle. Note: No parking space, but very low traffic flow there too.

I just went to RAM my Seagate HDD on 17 Dec 07, and I got the RMA HDD on 18 Dec 07, UPS to my house. Very fast.

Last time Acecom is based in Toa Payoh, they have shifted to Eunos is it?

yes, you are rite. but you better called the Maxtor Hotline before doing anything. They will direct you to the CORRECT distributor.

Anyway, RMA time for Hitachi/IBM PATA drives should take around 3weeks. (Based on mine and some other HWZers' experience ).
