1TB Seagate Barracudas Collapsing A Gogo, Users Say

It looks like the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 hard drive series is having serious problems Zune style, with a large number of them failing like crazy, specially the 1TB model. The problem seems to be firmware-based.

The company–which has been deleting messages from customers reporting on the problem left, right, and center–has offered a software fix, but it’s saying that people are not entitled to any other kind of compensation or replacement. I smell class-action lawsuit. [The Inquirer via Electronista]

    I have had at least 100 of these drives fail at my place of work.

    I have always only used WD, and this just reinforced that in my mind.
