Why I avoid Seagate hard drives like the plague
That should be proof enough. I have had many hard drives from Seagate fail on me. One of the drives that came with this very laptop I am typing on lasted me all of 6 months. I switched to a Samsung hard drive and it has yet to fail on me. But the sad thing is that Samsung sold its hard drive business to Seagate so….
In any case. It seems that Apple is having a Seagate hard drive replacement program because some of the Seagate 1Tb drives that came with the Apple iMacs were faulty. It does not surprise me in the least. That is why all my hard drives in my computers, even my portable hard drives, are all Samsung hard drives. Once bitten, twice shy. Its a shame really because at one point in time, Seagate had/made fantastic and durable hard drives. Those days are apparently long gone.
