This HDD purchased AUG 2009. first fail after 3 months I reloaded WinXp Ok.
Know failed again I contacted the Seagate Web site and ran SeaTools:-
1) Smart Fail
2) Short DST fail
3) Long DST fail
HDD is mounted horizontal in a tower and well cooled.
Problem escalated to Seagate Support.
Are these Disks any good?
