Because I've had a very bad experience with Seagate. Out of a purchase of 4 drives over the next 18-24 months I ended up with a total of 6 new drives (2 duds were replaced by the retailer), 6 recos (replaced by Seagate), and 7 failures. That's just from buying FOUR drives at a shop.

Depends on your application. I was curious about these drives because their info says they're suitable for 24/7 situation. In my case, sacrificing seek times is not an acceptable compromise.
