You should be aware that there is a certain firmware revision of
Seagate drives that has serious problems. *All* of my 7200.11 drives
have failed. Every one of them. I'm not kidding. I've not had any
issues with the 7200.12 drives.

If you can get eyes on the drive itself or otherwise check the
firmware version and discover any .11 drives, destroy them with
prejudice.
