I've so far had 5 seagate HDDs, 4 of the 5 have failed. This one has over 3 years of being constantly running, according to statistics HDDs have a 11.8% chance to fail during their fourth year... glad I'm buying something new this year. Regarding the failure of your HDD NoFaTe, all things happen for a reason (in an absolutely non religious type of way), maybe this time around you will do things differently and achieve a more satisfying result.
Good luck with the project

Any here with a copy of PC3000?
btw NoFate did the drive showed any signs of going under? I have similar (albeit 1TB model) and was wondering if there's anything that's tale-tale sign that shit are going to hit the fan.

There are tons of SMART readers, im just asking because most of the drives die without SMART showing any issues.

Just before it died, I noticed it had 100% active time, as seek time of several seconds, and SMART was reporting several bad sectors.

Moral of the story. Always backup your files and don't buy from Seagate again

My 500GB System-HDD is a Seagate (Barracuda) and runs now for nearly 9 Years without Problems
And I'm not really dealt tenderly with her.
and of course I'm not so mad that operate without backup
But I would also love to have a good tape drive for data archiving. But they are so damn expensive ..

I wasn't that lucky. This is what happened to me: http://fillwithcoolblogname.blogspot.pt ... w-bug.html
And Seagate wanted to charge me a huge ammount of money for data recovery from that HDD. That was the first and last Seagate I bought.
