The newer large drives, aside from being far more value than old, small drves, also have greater reliability stats on average, hence the long warranties manufacturers are willing to offer now. (Unlike the bad old days of $600 100MB hdds with worthless short term warranties, and which were like Russian roulette.)
Yes, Seagate drives have had a firmware issue recently (this has been old news for a few months now), but very rapidly released a fix and honoured any-and-all warranty claims.
