Easier Seagate DM cases coming in

Has anyone else been finding that the more recent Seagate DM cases that are coming in are becoming easier? I'm seeing a lot less catastrophic head failures and more and more that are just media cache or firmware issues. I'm actually starting to like these drives coming in now.

What are you guys finding?

So what you are saying is they are dying so soon that they don't even have time for physical damage? ;-)

I'm hoping it means that the bulk of the drives with defective heads already died off, and now we're seeing the more graceful failures. I haven't seen a hard ST2000DM001 in a while, and about five out of the last six ST3000DM001s were easy too. Hoping it's a trend that continues. Eventually we'll be recovering them all.
