Apparently for about a year now, I just found out while browsing seagates website and seeing maxtor listed. So one of the best bought out one of the worst, interesting.

Seagate used to be good but not anymore. If you try to get them to replace a HD you'll get the replacement in 5 years.

I haven't needed to replace a Seagate yet, and what does the replacement plan have to do with the product quality?

It doesn't matter how good something is... if the company has bad customer service it's better to avoid their products.

The whole reason I was on their website was to get the scan tools so I could hopefully RMA my 200gb sata which died the other night. I've had some problems with it before whenever I would attempt to use the last 30GB or so of space. Well this time, while copying data over from my laptop, the drive failed and everything on it became inaccessible. Sometimes, a reboot would fix the majority of the corruption. But this time, a reboot only made it worse. Now windows just tells me the drive is unformatted, leaving 180GB of data lost.

The seagate tools said the drive was working perfectly, yea whatever. So no RMA # for me. I had to RMA a WD 8GB once, wasn't a problem. Only took WD a few weeks at most.
