I have had good luck with Seagate drives formatted as EXT3 or EXT4 with GNU/LINUX. I haven't had a mechanical failure with SATA 3 or 6 hardrives ever so far in 5 years.
The old ATA 100/133 is another story ...
I am using vfat format on my external hard drives no problems.
250 GB Samsung 2.0 USB 4 years old
1TB Hitachi Touro 3.0 USB 2 years old
Maybe, it is the format or the LINUX?
