I saw a report recently. In that report, Seagate drives had a far larger failure rate then many others.

Old report. Old desktop drive models, and a single server farm’s report. Seagate Enterprise drives are as good or better than anyone’s. Their current desktop drives are pretty good. I like the WD Blacks as well. And I always liked the Hitachi Deskstar, Globalstar and UltraStar. Since Hitachi GST was bought up, mostly by WD, we’re waiting on carrying them until they demonstrate some long term reliability (some of the Hitachi GST models were taken by Fujitsu as the US Government wouldn’t allow it all to go to WD). Seagate releasing them as a Enterprise drive means they’ll have a great MTBF.
