[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 425578, member: 8287"] This thread again? I bought a BRAND NEW Seagate 120GB 7200 RPM drive Factory Sealed in it's box. CAREFULLY installed it and right up got S.M.A.R.T. Errors but tried to install the OS anyway and ran into error after error and even worse SMART errors. This happened on a PC and a Mac. Drive was defective but I could install the OS. Seen this happen over and over again with Seagate, Maxtor, WD ETC. Some drives worked for a while like 5-6 months then failed SMART or died completely. Bad drives do happen, some right out of the box even. [/QUOTE]
