The seagate 1.5TB drives suck major ass. I bought 4 of those drives. Of the 4, ZERO of them would take loading the OS. I found this out after my seagate 1tb bit the dust after 9 months of use. Then read forums full of post after post of people with the same drives and problems. Normally I use WD and yes I did have 1 WD go bad, so am not locked down on what brand to get. Went with Seagate because of the deals going on and thought it would be as good as WD....but yah..5 out of 5 drives bad. 1 died totally after 9 months, 4 will work as storage but for whatever reason will not load an OS. Keeps on failing durring install. Ordered a new WD and OS install went flawless after that.
