I haven't had problems with newer Seagate. I really like the "near

I use the disclaimer that I don't have much experience with (relatively) newer drives. I'm willing to give anyone another chance, under limited circumstances until my confidence is at a reasonable level. I didn't lose anything during the period that I had the 300xl subjectedt to a Barracuda, so that's something.
