    personally, I buy Seagate Internal drives and then put myself into cases with fans... that way I know exactly what I'm getting and there's no crapware on the drive....

    The only drives I've had die were either:
    1. LaCie (2 of them.... not sure why....)
    2. a WD myBook, but ENTIRELY my fault, as I plugged the AC adapter from my Thinkpad into the AC adapter power port of the drive and the excess voltage FRIED the drive... strange smell... and yes, it was dumb OF ME, but it's also a dumb design to have the same size power plug for such different power outputs....
