The Cuda's cause they are cheaper, faster and just as reliable. All drives fail, esp. the WD's since the flood. Give yourself a belated Xmas gift by not buying into all the Seagate bashing, it's just rumor exhuming from way back in 2007 with a bad batch of 1.5's. If you're the timid type, you can buy a 3 or 5 year warranty and they'll still undercut the Red's. Be smarter than the watercooler jimmies!
The exhuming will follow this post, guaranteed.
