There was a problem with the Seagate 7200.11 series a couple years ago. The problem was fixed with a firmware upgrade. This is still ingrained in lot of peoples memories. A lot of these drives are still running and failing as we speak. You can include these in your sample data or you can ignore them, depending on your viewpoint.

The 7200.11s being sold now should all be OK.
