well, I shipped the drive back to Seagate, and I got my confirmation back 
today. In the email was this standard blurb:
 
Seagate Return Policy
 Your original drive will NOT be returned. Any data on the drive will be lost. 
The replacement drive will be low-level formatted. If you need the data on 
the drive and do not have a backup copy, you may want to consider data 
recovery services before shipping the drive to Seagate for replacement. 
Please see: http://services.seagate.com/ for additional information on 
Seagate’s data recovery service.

I know I heard someone mention that they would get your data back for you, but 
they obviously don't ask unless you do..
