What's odd, the tool gave me blank "Test Code" after every failed test. Both drives gave me failures in Short Drive Self Test and Long Generic. Removed both drives and ran them through seagate's diagnostic tool (seatools for windows), connected to windows via USB3 caddy. Well, after configuring simple RAID1 in QNAP, before I could really do anything else, I got red LED and a warning of bad blocks detected on one drive. My hope being that it's only because Seagate is haunted by some past errors, not because the current drives are actually rubbish. I won't be hiding that the price (~80AUD cheaper EACH than WD reds) was a big factor. They are on the compatibility list, and have 24/7 spec, optimised for surveillance. Perhaps it's going to bite me, but I've decided to give 2 of those a go in RAID 1, in TS-251+, 4.
