I can also attest that the Seagate STX000DM000 is not a good drive. Out of 4 ST2000DM000 drives 1 had to be RMA'd and another is showing potential signs of failure (checksum errors in ZFS). Granted it's a small sample size but I recognized that model number immediately since I have been dealing with them a lot recently.
Personally I've found that the 40-45$ refurbished 2TB enterprised hitachi drives on Amazon are more reliable. Since I'm running in a raidz3 config I'm not terribly afraid of any single disk failure
