I installed 30 2 gb Seagates (mirrored) about 9 months  ago and had 3 fail
within 2 days, (fortunatly each was only half of a mirrored pair).
They were replaced and   I have added sixteen more to the same system
with no further failures. We have also purchased about the same
number of 4 gb drives within the last year and the only problem I
have had is with people filling the damm thing up!. So they seem to
follow the same general rules as most drives I'v bought,
dead-in-a-day or they last forever. Hope this raises your comfort
level and lowers yer blood pressure.
