I'm glad you mentioned that case, I just filled out the documentation. Luckily I kept receipts, correspondence with Seagate, and still have one of the failed drives.

Considering I was a college student at the time, it cost me a lot of money to replace my failed Seagate drives (after RMAing them and having failed replacements). I've never bought another Seagate product and never will, regardless of claims that they've improved.
