There's been a lot of "Seagate-Bashing" lately but the complaints
are mostly anecdotal - not statistical.  Does anyone have a REAL feel for
the relative reliability of these things?  I suspect it's possible to 
find a large number of dissatisfied Seagate users out there because of
the ENORMOUS numbers of those drives on PCs.  The price of Seagates seems
to be about $10/Mbyte - about the same as the "better" brands.  The rea-
son I'm curious is that I've used several Seagates in the past with lit-
tle or no problem but continue to hear horror stories - maybe only the
negatives reach the net.
