Yah, it sorta depends.  I've gotten burnt out on Seagates in general because
every single one I've had has given me trouble at one time or another.  Of
course, I haven't bought one in the last couple years, so I figure they're
better now.

But if you start having it drop sectors on you, you know, all of a sudden
there's a sector bad, back it up right away - that day.  If it does what mine
always did, they grow like rabbits and take over the whole drive.

Then, on the other hand, I'm using one of those 157N's I think, 49 megger SCSI
imbedded on this unit.  It has only flaked one sector, and since no problems. 
But that one sector happened to be in the root directory and I had a real fun
time reconstructing that.
