We had a number of Seagate ST-25X drives in our lab at U of Washington.
Most of them eventually wound up hanging on the end of their cables
because they would not spin up after being shutdown.  I tried to call
Seagate technical help on several occasions but the calls were never 
returned.  I don't know if they fixed the problem as I have not
purchased a Seagate drive since.  I don't plan to purchase one in the
future and I try to dissuade anyone from purchasing the ST-25X series.

I agree if Seagate doesn't like to read this that's just too bad.  I 
wasn`t really mad about it until they refused to call back...
