   I've had some experience with a few Seagate drives recently.

   I've had 120 ST32550W (2.1 GB) Barracudas running almost
continuously since July of this year, with no failures.  They are well
cooled, though.

   I've also had 72 ST410800W (9 GB) Elites running for a few months,
with 2 of them giving out early in life.

   I think I'm starting to have problems with a ST31230N Hawk in a
poorly cooled bay in my Linux machine (and I believe I lost a ST31200
in the same location due to heat).
