YMMV of course, but I've had to replace 2 1TB Seagate Barracudas (I
know, not the unit you're asking about) on my NAS (Iomega ix2). One
failed after a couple of months, the other about two years later.
Luckily the disks were mirrored so I didn't lose anything. I replaced
them with WD drives.
Also, you might want to look at

Yup! I was going to say that I had bad experiences
with Seagate drives and replacements costs money
so I dropped Seagate went with Hitachi some years
ago! poc has provided the link!
The warranty for Hitachi drives are 3 years
and gone are drives with 5-year warranties?
YMMV and I am (still) running 6x2TB 24/7 without a glitch!
