I had a Seagate 89 MB (don't remember the exact model number) that DIED
on me.  At the time, I didn't bother to back up my hard drive, so I lost
over 70 MB of stuff!  Fortunately they were mostly program files, and
nothing too important, but it was a major pain to get everything back.
I have heard mixed reports of Seagate drives.  I know LOTS of people who
have never had ANY problems with them.  However, mine did not last 6 months.
The Seagate was replaced by my vendor with a Fujitsu.  The Seagate was 
definately a better performer, but the Fujitsu lasted!
Now I have a computer with a Western Digital, and I would not go back to
either brand.

Just my $.02
