Hmmm. Curious. I wonder if Seagate has improved their production somehow to avoid those failure rates, because even with those previous very high rates, they fare much better on the 2013-2016 total chart.


They might have. But I also wonder if those drives were among the first after the 2011 Thailand floods, and if Seagate's factories were still a bit dirty after resuming production.


Ahhh, didn't even think about that. That seems like it could be a definite possibility.
