oh no, I didn't spell something right 
you may have had good experiences with seagate, but judging from numerous user reviews from people when I was looking for a new HDD, I'd suggest going a different route. I'd rather back up my data and use a HDD whose manufacturer is going to stand behind a product when its more likely to break, rather than risk it with one that if it does break, I'm on my own. Oh, and I know the wife and daughter of the CEO of seagate (who just passed away) and I'd rather not support them
