Of course, you then spend far too much time ensuring that any  
replacement drives are flashed appropriately (which, afaict,  
*requires* Windows to do), and also running the gauntlet of further  
problems down the road when you throw the drives into a new machine  
with a subtly different HBA bios.

No thanks, I'll stick with option (2).  A few more months, and  
Seagate drives will be a nice distant memory that I can look back on  
in a few years, and laugh nervously about.
