I have had extremely good experiences with seagate drives, and my company has owned thousands.This drive failed on me within 2 weeks of purchase. Some whiz-bang of a new engineer at Seagate decided that a hard drive didn't need any ventilation. It's bad when a brand new drive runs too hot to touch, then grinds to a halt, literally. The first time I touched it, I knew it was headed for failure.There are fans in computer cases for a reason folks.David
