This must be my 2-3 Seagate in a row to have kicked. For certain it is the second 1 TB 7200 that I have attached to my Charter DVR to have died, and I think the 1 TB in my G5 at the office has been replaced at least once or twice too in the last year.
DVR must work those drives hard.

DVR is killer on hard drives - I have a TiVo's in the family and they record 24/7. Right now I haven't touched drives in a couple of years - seems like if you can get some good ones they will last 3+ years, but many die in about a year.
What firmware version were they? If you use the original firmware (1A?) in a 1TB Seagate something like 25%+ would die within a year.

I used to use Seagate exclusively. But the 7200.11 drives have serious issues. I had 12, out of 19 fail in 6 months. I had 16 1.5 TB models and they began failing in three days and Newegg was helpful in taking back all 16 and replacing them with WD 1 TB Black drives.
