A friend of mine is using Seagate ES drives since many years in his servers. He replaces all his drives after the five years warranty time is up and as far as I can remember he told me, that he never had a failure with all of his drives. He gave me two of his old drives and I used them for some years in a RAID-1 array in one of my machines till I replaced them with SSDs recently. They are still ok. The only bad thing about these drives is their high noise level. Server drives are usually located in a server room and not in an office and so they are not designed to be silent. :-) -- Regards wabe
