Need some feedback here on Seagate Barracuda LP HD 2TB Drive - GoFuckYourself.com

Anyone using these?
Give me your feedback on reliability please....preferable from the few of you that put these drives under HUGE pressure like encoding, rendering or other massive processing.

I thinking about swapping our 1,5TB drives in one of our NAS setups but being a bit careful!

Looks like the Hitachi 2TB version is a LOT faster!

Really, no one huh?

I'd go with the Hitachi over the Seagate if I were you.

Yeah i see that they are much faster, about 10x faster actually.
I need to find out if they are reliable though.

You used either of these yet?

I think we have killed 2-3 of them in the last 3 years but bought them by the hundreds so my stats are great....

However models vary and I?m very very careful when new ones come out.
Especially as i need to buy 10 of them at once minimum to fill one NAS system....if they suck I?m out 2-3,5K ouch

The seagate 2tb drives are slow compared to the WD 2tb drives.
