Tested: Seagate 7200.11 (1.5 TB), 7200.12 (1 TB), WD20EADS (2 TB)

Seagate seems to have fixed the .12 series with new firmware. The drive now behaves better than the samples reviewed elsewhere a couple of months ago.

I've been really afraid of the 1.5TB drives since the Seagate bricking issue (Seagategate). My 1TB drives have been very reliable, but I'm glad they're finally moving forward with larger drives.
