Seagate "Pipeline" drives??

That's interesting how Seagate is marketing the Pipeline drives, emphasizing 24/7 use and reliability:

"Pipeline HD™ drives deliver unprecedented levels of low power and vibration performance, bedroom quiet acoustics and room for hundreds of hours of blockbuster movie content, all with leading reliability of 0.55% predicted AFR."

"Designed for cool, quiet, worry free, 24x7 operations 365 days a year. Always on, always reliable."

That's a long ways from the days of IBM's "DeathStar", which IBM eventually said was only to be used eight hours a day.

yea pipelines have been out for months now. netgear replaced all of the drives in their readyNAS brand of network storage devices with these instead of the barracudas they were shipping with before. the fact that they're seagate makes me weary since i see barracuda drive failures on a weekly basis at frys due to firmware related issues now, well over a year or 2 since seagate's problems started, but who knows, it could hold true. i have to say though, the number of ES.2 drives i have seen fail doesn't instill hope, and they're rated for enterprise storage usage.
