I read this thread yesterday and was surprised at the comments about Seagate drives. I've never had a problem with them. The only drives I've ever had a problem with were the old WD 80GB drives. I've had many of them fail.

Well not 10 minutes after reading the tread my USB Seagate 2TB backup drive failed. Since I back up several different ways it wasn't a huge deal. When I took the drive apart to dispose of it I found a bunch of metal fragments in it. The plates were fine. I think the fragments came from the armature. Seagate is now on my don't buy list. The drive was only about 2 years old and didn't get used excessively.
