It's a nice design. Poorly executed.

If they got the right batch of motors in, and tolerences were right
for that particular combination of parts, the drive will be fine.

All said and done, however, I would'nt get another Seagate drive until
I've heard they've brought QC and their DOA rate to at least up to
if not exceeding, industry standards.
