back then working with Seagate drives was a trauma in itself. In 2008/2009, I've setup more than 3000 1 TB Barracuda ES drives; 1800 of them failed in the following 3 years (they came with a 5 years warranty). I stopped keeping track of Barracuda failures at some point. Unsurprisingly, 14 years later I still wouldn't recommend Seagate drives to anyone.
