I'm looking at a Seagate 750 gig drive that went south on me with a pile of errors. Good luck getting Seagate to give a good gosh darn. In the past I have had mixed results replacing the drive motherboard. I saved two out of three. I doubt I will buy anything Seagate makes in the future.
Everything electrical and mechanical fails. It's just a question of when, followed by whether or not you're prepared.
I've found (and heard) that the worst thing I can do to a HDD is put it on the shelf and let it rot. I've had more than a few that failed shortly after being put into a computer.
