Figure every 3 years toss them just to be safe.
hehe... all my old maxtor drives are dead lol, none of the seagates are. Honestly seagate's quality has fallen some in recent years, my drive of choice these days is a Hitachi. Before Hitachi took over, they were the shitty IBM Deskstar drives which failed about the same as Maxtor, but after Hitachi started they have been top notch ever since. Grade A+ all the way in performance and longevity.
