seagate 2TB goflex desk quality? I have these kits for 60$ at Staples. I am very tempted on picking one up and throwing it in my PC as an internal. But I have seen mixed reviews. I have never had issues with any hard drives pushing 6years + ripping them from external/ older PCs and Swapping them into my tower. have I just been lucky ? I am pretty sure my current hard drives are sea gates. Has their quality gone downhill over the few years? Is the 2TB just unstable?
 
I believe the problem with premature failures on the external drives is users lack of knowledge. Most down't know to dismount the drive before disconnecting it nor do they know they shouldn't really move it before its spun down. Then there's the whole "Opps I dropped it" ...

edit - I forgot to say my 2tb external seagate usb3 is over 2 yrs old without a single problem.
