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 Peter
