Jimmy,

were you dealing with a 
> dealer or some 3rd party? 
 
I bought the drive(s) from a distributor (a quite large distributor, at
that), but dealt directly   
with Seagate for the replacements. I called them and got an RMA, sent in
the drives, and waited.   
I asked about cross shipment, but they wouldn't do it. They HAD TO get my
drive returned first!  
 
I bought an IBM drive to replace it in my machine. When the replacement
Seagate (refurb) arrived,   
I installed it as a second drive, and that one failed in a short time as
well. The refurb   
replacement for that one is the one I still have sitting here in the box.
I'm thinking about   
making a clock out of it. 
 
The IBM drive I bought (the first of 4) is still going strong several years
later. So are the   
other three, altho they were bought later.  
Steve
