Well I have 5 Seagate disks in my computer, 1 is 8 YEARS old 7200.7 120GB PATA drive and works 24/7, 350 days in the year 
The last 2 drives I bought were 2 Seagate DiamondMax 21 500GB disks and I wanted to build a RAID 0 with them. First thing that astonished me when I received them was that these drives had identical labels, but different design and circuitry. I had no issue to build a RAID 0 with these drives but one of them (that with a maxtor-like circuitry) produces unusually higher vibration. I had an unsuccessful try to replace this drive (just because it's .."odd").
My opinion is that Seagate became unreliable after buying Maxtor which was very famous with its issues. My next two 2TB drives won't be a Seagate product.
