    Seagate RMA on 3TB Drive 22-27 Months Old

    What Cougtek said and handruin presented. Learned long ago not to rely on seagate. Been buying mostly HGST since they bought IBM's drive business, though I do have a few WD Raptor drives, and a Toshiba branded hgst drive. Not that this is helpful to the op. Hope your new drive proves more...
