Headline:
       1200+ 10T Seagate disks - ZERO (yes, ZERO) failures!!!

Seems that Seagate might be doing something about their poor reputation
for huge consumer disks?  The numbers for 4TB Seagate models aren't
nearly so great (3-31% failures), so we still need to be careful in our
specific choices.

I consider any failure rates over 1% to be an "avoid" for my needs.
