I had a fan in a drive enclosure fail and every seagate drive I had in there died. The other 5 were fine (a mix of wd and hitachi). Purely anecdotal I know, but all I buy are wd reds now for media storage. I do remember seeing tests on Seagate drives and them having abnormally high failure rates but I think it was only one model tested so who knows if it means anything.
