I have had two Seagate 250GB failing in the last 3 mo. That is 100% of the
Seagates I own and I don't plan to buy any more of them. Almost all my
other HDDs are WD, I guess I have around 10 of them, ranging from 6yo (?)
70GBs to 6mo old 250GB SATAs. The third brand I have is an IBM Deskstar,
have one 8yo which has been running 24/7 without a problem.
I can't complain about Seagate's service though, they replaced both drives
without a question - but of course gave me refurbished units back. We will
see how long they last.
Suddenly remembered that I actually have 2 Seagate SCSIs which have been
running 24/7 for about 7 years, but you can't really compare SCSI to IDE in
terms or reliability.
