Class action lawsuits are being filed against Seagate over the high rate of failure on their hard drives. The suit specifically claims the 3tb sized drives.

per the article there is hard data that supports lawsuit's claim: Cloud company BackBlaze published failure rate of close to 50 thousand hard drives they used in the past 3 years. It looks like the 1.5tb also have a high failure rate.
