    "What we’re seeing in our fleet right now is a higher-than-typical
    failure rate among some of our 12TB Seagate drives."

    Uh-oh.

    Uh-oh.

    From the article:
    "Below, we�ll discuss what�s going on, what we�re doing about it, and why customers shouldn�t worry."

    For the moment, I'm hanging my hat on "...and why customers shouldn�t
    worry." I have a pair of Seagate 12TBs in use and no issues so far.
