[X4U] Seagate drives

[Jerry Kemp]

Odd, I have had extremely good luck with Seagate drives, and have been 
purchasing them exclusively over the last few years.  And, as you 
mention, Seagate drives come with the 5 year warranty, in case you do 
have an issue.

Are the drive failures you are experiencing all occurring in just one 
system, or a group of systems?  Are there any specific patterns to the 
failures that you can observe?

Is it the drive electronics that are failing for you, or a multitude of 
bad blocks on the drives themselves, or something else?

Sorry if you mentioned your specific issues earlier.  I am catching up 
on email and saw you note.
