i had a seagate 4GB model hard disk. Medalist 4340 series 3.2GB hard disk has been servicing me for 5 years and then I had it service for other people until today. I bought it on year 1999.
So far that hard disk has no problem at all. Even once I had pull my cd-rom molex connection when operating and killed one hard disk but that seagate still remain save.
I have 3 hard disk which is Maxtor 80GB, Western Digital 80GB and Maxtor 200GB but they seem to have some unstable issues.

performance could be measured but reliability and durability couldn't be measured.
I believed that Hitachi with IBM joint venture would have created a very reliable and advanced storage device in this industry.
For those who can read chinese traditional here is the news
