I've had bad experiences with the Seagate products. Last time I read a bunch of customer reviews on newegg.com and it seemed to be split between those with no issues and those with failures. My guess is that it's related to duty cycle - casual users who really don't "beat up" on the drive will have no problems, while power users will probably kill the drive. If my guess is correct, it's simply physics - lack of airflow over the HDA (head disk assembly).
