<p>I've been having a return issue with TakeAlot for approximately 1 month. The item(PC hard drive) was returned and "supposedly" tested+formatted+updated firmware. </p> <p> </p> <p>However when I got the hard drive back all of the data was still present, meaning it was NOT formatted. Furthermore the issue persisted. I contacted Takealot and this was ignored and overlooked, no ownership was taken. </p> <p> </p> <p>I went on to install a different version of windows on the hard drive and after a few hours the issue occurred again. I have advised them the following steps below were taken.</p> <p> </p> <p>STEPS</p> <p>1. The drive was initially installed with windows 10 where the issues occurred.<br /> 2. Upon receiving it back after test the drive was then installed with windows 7 where the same issues occurred. <br /> 3. The issues sometimes occurs after a few safe restarts/ safe re-boots. <br /> 4. I've tested 2 other drives on the same PC and all of those drives are functioning correctly.<br /> 5. I've disassembled and tested each component of this PC individually and they function correctly. <br /> 6. I've tested this faulty drive on an entirely different PC and the drive continues to fail.</p> <p> </p> <p>I've been taken as a fool by both parties and feel like I've been overlooked even though I've been supporting Takealot with many purchases over the years. </p> <p>The service at Takealot has been on a steady decline for some time I would NOT recommend it to anyone.</p>
