50%+ failure rate on 3TB Seagates from Backblaze studies.

Something _horrible_ happened on the 3TB Seagate batch. 4TB and 2TB are reasonable... but 3TB... wtf happened?

This. I had one at work fail on me after 10 months of usage; got almost everything back from backups, but the timing was incredibly bad and I had to work some really late nights to pull through. Got a free replacement, but I'm pretty distrusting of it so now it's in Raid1 with a WD drive. That may've been a decent one though, because it's been working for two years now.
