Nothing meaningful. The only consolation is that i hadn't done anything yet, so no foul.

Help' email was 'disinterested', with no apology for the faulty device. Reformatting the drive didn't help. The next time you try to access it, you need to wait around 10 seconds for it to wake up again, as if it's a platter drive spinning up.

    As storage prices go down year by year this 500gb model is absolutely no longer worth the 90 price tag
