Is it just me or all of these bad HD related stories happen to be proned to just Seagate manufactured drives? Ever since the first time i used a Seagate drive, and had it fail, this was 4 or 5 years ago, i quit using them.
Seagate, for some reason has always had some bad luck. When i used to work at my local Uni, in the IT department, we had about 3 Seagte drives fail out of 30 Macs, and 0 Western Digital Drives fail which were in the Dell systems [30 of those too].
Maybe this is why i have noticed at Best Buy Seagate Drives now selling with a 5 year warrenty.
