Seagate can suck my balls

Well, Seagate has managed to lose me as a customer. I bought a brand new drive some time ago when I first built my machine. Around 8 months later the drive took a dump on me, and I was forced to put in a 40 gig Western Digital hard drive I had lying around.

I RMAed the Seagate and a few weeks later was sent a REFURBISHED drive. "No biggie", I thought to myself "I'm sure it'll work fine". Wrong. The refurbished drive lasted all of two weeks before taking a dump of it's own.

I then RMAed THAT drive, and in the RMA I specified what happened and specifically told them to send me a new drive. I didn't buy a refurb from the wholesaler, I don't want a refurb from them. Well, they sent a damned refurbished drive.

I just got done Ghosting my WD to the Seagate and I suppose we'll see how long this one lasts. My theory is that this drive will last just long enough to where I get comfortable to wipe the WD and put something else on it. Just after that the Seagate will take a crap and I'll be forced to just buy something else and go through the pain of reinstalling Windows + all my apps. Luckily I backup documents and other things to DVD / one of my web servers pretty often so I shouldn't really lose too much work.
