Quote - Well my current internal hard drive is 500gig, and I'm always afraid of it dying - since the one I was using last November, did die, and this is the new one, so as soon as I have a bit of cash I want another 500gig internal as a safety feature, I already use one of the externals as a back up drive, I feel I want double redundancy...

Fear! fear! big raging fear!  Don't wanna go through that again!

Lol...

Yeah know what you mean! I used to swear of Seagate drives, only when I upgraded my comp last time(about 9 month ago) a friend of mine who has got far more knowledge in these things than I do, urged me, to go for a Western Digital one.

If Seagate has gone down in reliability or not, I cant say. This friend of mine told me, they did.
But confirm that, I cant!
