Just in case you think firmware fixes all these problems.

it doesn't.


Seagate should be avoided at all costs.

Also, don't worry about sending back a 'good' drive. I doubt a human
does more than wave a reader at the bar codes on your drive and the rma
label, then the drive goes in a bin with all the other rmas. I RMAed a
WD for having write timeouts no problem.
