I bought two new 2T Seagates to install
bookworm on, spent a week copying almost 26 years worth of my personal
history to them, 2 weeks later both of them died, going off line in the
middle of the night, so I lost stuff that went back to Feb. 98. So that
started my saga with bookworm which has been the 5th great
disappointment in my life.
I see some references to the drive failures in the debian-user mailing
list archives:

Have you contacted Seagate to see if the drives are eligible for Rescue
Data Recovery Services?

The first 4 were burying my first wife, and one at a time, the three
children she gave me.
You have my condolences.
