LUG:

I've just had my second almost-new Seagate 1T external hard drive die 
within a year.  Seagate used to be the most reliable.  I have several 
350 GB Seagates that are still going strong after 4 years.  I know 
Seagate bought Maxtor or Maxtor bought Seagate so maybe they aren't 
dependable anymore?  It is under warranty and will be replaced and I 
had almost everything backed up, but it is a big nuisance and waste 
of time to pack this thing up and ship it in and wait for a new one 
(plus rescanning all of the slides I have scanned in the last week 
and not backed up) :-(

I know all hard drives fail eventually but which one is the "Leica" 
of hard drives?  Are there any that are more dependable? Are the 1T's 
more likely to fail than a smaller capacity one?

Help.

Tina
