.... are Seagate. Especially those manufactured after mid-2007, with larger capacities. (3.5" drives.) Bearing seizure, head failures - only two years ago Seagate used to be the most reliable. Now I see more of those than WD and original Maxtor put together. Anyone else have some comments? |

I have seen that as well. I have received a lot of Seagate from 320 to 750 Gb with damaged heads, bearing and even head crashes. |

Same for me; lots of seagates, mostly with bearing problems. Dobre |

Are the labels plain white or do they have a green line around the outside? |

No green line / RMA drives seen recently - only originals. |

Same here Seagate , there is a reason why seagate are seen much in cases because they sold most unlike WD and Maxtor . |

Even if Seagate sold three times as many drives as WD and the old Maxtor, I'm still seeing more than three Seagates for every WD / Maxtor that comes in. Also, because they are almost all displaying the same problem, this leads me to believe they are having production / design problems. Get manufacturing out of China, charge the end user an extra $2 per drive - problem solved. Duncan |
