That's the kind of superstition that's only brought about by deep trauma.

back then working with Seagate drives was a trauma in itself. In 2008/2009, I've setup more than 3000 1 TB Barracuda ES drives; 1800 of them failed in the following 3 years (they came with a 5 years warranty). I stopped keeping track of Barracuda failures at some point.

Unsurprisingly, 14 years later I still wouldn't recommend Seagate drives to anyone.

Thinking back mixing firmware versions on new units was avoided where possible and we would also try to replace like for like firmware on RMAs
