I couldn't find the post here, but a Google search turned up the info from a PC World article here:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2873194/want-a-reliable-hard-drive-splurge-for-4tb-study-of-40000-plus-hdds-finds.html
It WAS the Seagate drive with the bad 3 TB drive. From the chart it looks like about a 40% failure rate - ugg!
Several weeks ago someone posted a chart of hard drive reliability information. Search as I have, I can't find that post, and I'm getting ready to buy a 3 TB drive that's either Seagate or WD. If memory serves (and it might not!), it was the Seagate 3 TB drive that had the abysmal failure rate in 2014, but I don't trust my recollection. Could someone post a link to that thread or just give me the info?

That will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
