This review is from: Seagate Cheetah 15K.5 146.8 GB 3.5 Inch SAS 15000 RPM Hard Drive (Electronics)

Well, lets see, 6 Seagate Cheetah drives in an array, one failed within 3 months of lite use during startup, now another has failed after 1 year. So much for Seagate's reputation for reliability and durability. MTBF of millions of hours are meaningless, as is the warranty of 5 years if your company's policy is that hard drives must be physically destroyed. I hope this was just a bad lot of hard drives.
