So what's current MBs per platter record? If these drives had, say, roughly 5 times as many MBs per platter, that's 5 times as much data loss when they start making the famous "Seagate Sound"(TM). (i.e. clang, clang, clang) I agree, Seagates are at the bottom of the heap. Then again, I know many people who swear by them. (and can't stand the drives that I use.) Maybe it's just personal experience. At least you can fix many Seagates by banging on them with a hammer.
