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.

when it comes to your drive failure something in your environment is helping the drives die or your wholesaler is dropping the drives 50 times before they leave there.
out of the 100+ drives i have running all over the place i have had 2 failures in the last 12 months.
