the backblaze thing isnt really a factor in my disklike of seagate. One of my personal friends has had horrible experiences with segate drives failing quickly, the 2 month old computer lab machines having their seagate drives failing all the time at my college, and the fact that most people on LTT go with WD are all reason i shy away from seagate
Its not fanboyism at work here. I simply dont want to deal with the hassle of drives failing
