> Boy I hope mine fails :)
No you don't. I bought a Seagate a few years ago, drive failed after 6 weeks. Seagate asked me to send it back, and then repeatedly lied about when it would return. Mind you this was my boot drive, and I had to go out and buy a new HDD to USE my pc.
Finally after 8 weeks of lies, broken ship dates, someone I worked with called Seagate and got them to ship me a new drive, except the drive wasn't new, it was a reconditioned drive, which fortunately still runs.
As a result I will not willingly buy a Seagate drive period. I'm glad someone else had better luck than I did, but my experience was a disaster.
