The 5 year warranty is an indication that it's not a consumer drive, it's enterprise grade. That Seagate drive, although IDE, has a 16mb cache as well. Seagate makes good drives, as does Hitachi. Every manufacturer makes drives that fail - if you have had a bunch from one manufacturer in your life then consider yourself statistically unlucky.
