Seems that you failed to mention that Seagate has gone the extra mile to address this single issue and has both a diagnostic procedure in place to see if indeed there is a hard drive inaccessibility problem present and a firmware fix for those who do. Mmm, Seagate is doing the right thing by it's customers and addressing the issue,,,, free of charge. I find it strange that you embellished things w/o providing all the facts in your post. Probably too busy banging your head against the wall maybe?

Not trying to edit anything, just wanted to show that they ALL have issues with some drives, and will in the future I'm sure
