    After reading both sides of this discussion it seems to me that the best 
thing to do with SEAGATE drives is to ensure maximum cooling ( which is probably
one reason for high Apple failure rates) and to leave it on as much as possible.
    This build up of lubricant on the edges may increase with temperature, which
would account for the high failure rate in Apple's.

    So maybe if you have a Seagate, buy a fan and don't turn it off.

    Just another 2 cents worth.
