Yeah, my experience with Seagate has sucked.
A few years back i got a failed drive replaced under warranty... died like 6 months shy of its 3 year warranty date. They said they'd replace it and sent me a refurbished drive. It died shortly after it was plugged in, before I'd even started copying files to it. I could literally hear something rolling around in the drive. They replaced it again and the new drive failed similarly... plugged in for a while and then windows started reporting it was not accessible. 3rd drive worked, and still works, but I sure as shit don't trust it and haven't bought Seagate since.
