so I choose to Initialize it as GPT but the moment i tell it to i get a CRC error (even if i try a MBR initialize)

did seagate send me a dead drive? or am i doing something wrong?
you should give them a call about it. They seem pretty nice on the phone when i had to call them. i just got sent a replacement drive and it wasn't a refurb unit either. maybe they ran out of the model in refurb ones.
