Anybody using one...Seagate Barracuda Green 1.5tb.

I have a chance to pickup a refurb one for $25. This is supposed to be the worst Seagate HD known to men, with a failure rate within 6 months. I am only using it to backup my photos and in order to free up some space on my existing HDs. So, it won't be plugged in and on for the most part. I want to hear your horror stories with it and I read too many of them with people using them in a server environment.
