October 21, 201411 yr Just read this and found it interesting and slightly worrying as I just bought a 3TB Seagate drive! https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-update-september-2014/?utm_source=hackernewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=fav
October 21, 201411 yr Take it for what it's worth, I guess. I just had an HGST blow up last week that was about 2 months outside of the 2-year warranty. They also indicate, that most of the Seagate and WD drives had been farmed from External USB drives they purchased a few years back when HDDs became scarce from the flooding in Thailand.
