    Na, I'll just wait and see what happens. I should have just taken the $20 bucks I spent to ship the drive to them and put it towards a new drive. Then I wouldn't have to wait and jump through hoops.

    So eight days after receiving it they've decided they actually did receive the drive. The RMA is going through and hopefully I don't get a crappy drive back.

    I received the "new" drive (Certified Repaired, but not mine). I'm concerned though. Although this one passes Seatools tests and is quieter, I can sit and watch the SMART data values shoot through the roof on Raw Read Error Rate and Seek Error Rate.

    I'm not spending another $20 to send this thing back if it dies again.

    UPDATE:

    Now my other Seagate 1.5TB is clicking like a madman and freaking the server out. Great. . . One thing after another, lmfao.

    i've heard bad things about the seagate large capacity drives.

    of course i've heard bad things about the western digital ones too. and hitachi.

    i haven't heard anything bad about the samsung (i think).

    btw, i'm using a western digital caviar black. we'll see if it starts acting up.

    I had read bad things about these particular drives, but couldn't argue with the price. I think the more logical explanation is that I am just cursed, haha.

    Can't deal with these drives anymore. They check out fine, but the stuttering on some reads causes the server to freak out. I guess I'll try and use them as just random USB drives or something; nothing mission critical.

    Replaced with WD 2TB drives. Now for a server rebuild with Server 2008 R2 running Hyper-V.
