TBH, I've never had an issue with Seagate's drives. I've always used Seagate, WD, IBM, and Hitachi.
I've had IBM SCSIs fail, WD SATA failures, an about-to-die drive from Hitachi, but my Seagate deives make a stuffload of noise but still go. I guess everyone has different lucks with drives if that is even a thing.
