Here's where that choice gets ironic: there are also 2 WD drives in this computer that have been there nearly as long as the Seagates (a deliberate crossover to another brand+model to avoid catastrophic data loss if there was a major flaw somewhere). The Seagate drives in this comp have been a nightmare; the WD drives have not had a single issue. Not one.
