Well not to worry Western Digital sucks too. And with basically only Seagate and Wester Digital only making drives you can prepare the Vaseline and stroke it all day complaining.
^ It'd be funny if most of the Seagate and WD failures reported are just a scam perpetuated by OCZ to entice people to buy SSDs.... not likely, but funny.
I like the warranty, on the off chance that it might to be used.
With Seagate, there is no off chance, only certainty.
For last year- I have only 2 HDDs went dead for RMA- Both of them are Seagates...
Odd, out of systems here none with < 3 yo Seagates have had one fail.
