any issues with magnets & data loss?

Not with data loss but they are not really strong enough to keep everything together

So far I have 57+/- gb left so I can't answer if it will hold more without errors. I did observe that loading files into the device was slow however retrieving them was quick enough. I looked over some of the files I have to see if there was any deterioration & (for what little I have put in it) so far so good! I tend to keep several flash drives with the same info because I don't trust any device completely! Sorry I didn't have a better answer for you!

Did you replace your hard drive. I am interested in doing the same thing. Thanks!!

I have had no problems with the magnet affecting the hard drive in any way. I have bluetooth headphones and put the Nano with case in my pocket and go hiking with it located in the front of my pants....no issues.

Good question. I was also concerned. So far no issue. I had a hotel room catd not work but not sure if that was the cause. I try not to have my cards touch the magnet.

That has not been a problem so far. I've only had it about one week, but I would think if the magnet was going to erase anything, it would have done it by now.

I have had no trouble with mine. So no not that I know of. And the magnets are not very strong so you should be fine.

I have not had any issues w the magnets affecting the screen. I've had my Supernight for a month & a half.

I believe it did since I have one here. to update my review... I was able to salvage my data with the help of a G-Technology rep on the phone and the purchase of a cable to connect directly to the hard drive after removing it from the case. I then returned the drive to G-Technology and they replaced it. the Hard drive was actually fine however the electronics on the case failed. Their customer support seemed to be fine but I was surprised that the units electronics failed after minimal use in a very short time.

Cant say. I haven't had any issues with my drive at all. Its been working great for me the last few months. Mine has been HIGHLY reliable to the point

@Sherry - I can only speak to having a cell phone and an older iPod near the tiles -- and the tiles did not create any sort of problem with those electronics. Personally I believe that the magnets in this product are not strong enough to cause damage to most modern electrical devices. Plasma, LED, and LCD computers, TVs, phones etc do not suffer from the same issues that the older "big" TVs used to (they are "solid-state"). However, you might want to exercise a bit of caution by not placing the entire box of tiles on top of a computer hard drive. Hard drives can be damaged by magnetic fields.

Mine never worked very well, I lost data all the time and finally quit completely

I don't use my that often and I don't leave it connected, just when I want to copy or move items. I haven't had any problems with my.

It has not given me any trouble with the 2 cards (and Drivers License) that I keep in there 24/7. And they are the credit cards that I use for almost everything - so I'd know if the magnet was causing them trouble :)

You need an incredibly strong magnet dragging past the platters of a hard drive to effect it. Magnets that you can pull off of a steel plate with your bare hands dont hurt computers anymore, thats a floppy disk era problem. -Your friendly neighborhood Sysadmin.

I have had no problems at all of any kind but I would check for any close magnetic interference as thiscan be the source of these kinds of problems if it's not a tv defect.

I have heard of this issue in ASUS laptops, but have not experienced any kind of Drive failures in mine. Though Ive only had mine for a little over a year now. Sorry to hear about that, hopefully you can recover the data.
