Business critical data, databases etc.
I cannot emphasise enough, just how unreliable Seagate drives are and how poor their support is. If cheap is your priority and the data on your drive doesn't matter, then its perfect. If you want your data to not crash and burn, then get Fujitsu, Samsung or WD Black drives. Oh and never ever think about putting Segate SATA drives onto a hardware raid controller.. This is almost always fatal to your data.
Have you seen price for Fujitsu 3TB?
Have you seen Samsung 3TB? Ooooo wait, samsung is a seagate.

I stand by my statement, if cheap is your priority and reliability is of little or no concern, then this drive is fine. Seagate enterprise drives are OK, the ES(2) range and their FC/Chettah drives.

Never heard it called that before! Personally I prefer to get someone else to handle my ADSL....

Not in stock, 1-2 month wait for delivery. So ok if you're not in a rush.
Anyone know what ebuyers RMA is like?

That's a bit scary! I purchased one yesterday with free delivery so will be interesting to see what its like when it turns up.
I had to return a TV to ebuyer a couple of years ago and the returns process was very easy - it was all done through their online messaging system. I was pretty impressed with how smooth everything went.
One nice thing that Seagate do is provide firmware updates for the drive as an ISO image - I wish *all* manufacturers of firmware-upgradeable electronics you put in a PC would do that! Can't believe some still do the "DOS floppy" garbage (or worse, Windows-only updaters - I'm looking at you, Corsair, with your SSD updates).
