Question: Is there anything wrong with harddrives over 200gb? we just bought a 300GB seagate internal hard drive but my dad is paranoid because he read reviews that said they fail a lot

Answer: I have heard about certain manufacturers making a 250gb or whatever drive that had a high failure rate. However, the same thing happened with Maxtor's 40GB drive and then there was the terrible IBM Desktar (dubbed DeathStar) . Even then, you never know when a hard drive will fail. Seagate has a 5 year warranty, so not much to worry about for a long time.
