No ball in Seagate's court: I already have a bricked 1T Seagate drive and a mediocre 1.5T Seagate one (mediocre because it can't be used in RAID, it can't copy data without errors and I am wondering if or when will it brick like the 1T did). So, Seagate, please leave the court.
Hopefully, WD will do better and checks their firmwares before releasing time-bombs to the consumers.
They're available for preorder here for £207:

I don't really see why you'd want one as your system drive given the performance hit you'll get with such a large drive, and you can get 4 640GB drive (~2.5TB) which are cheaper and faster. They would be great if you just want lots of data storage, but then again, external 2TB drives have been available for a while now. I expect these would be ideal for a HTPC setup though, and much better than the 1.5TB Seagate drive which from what I have heard has lots of issues and problems with recent firmware updates destroying drives.
@ Darfuria. What is this 'data loss' you speak of? Or are you referring to the decimal/binary prefix confusion?
