Better to be safe than sorry.
Do it. Always take advantage of a warranty.

I emailed Seagate and they said I should send the drive to them because it's likely that it's failing. They gave me the option of sending me the replacement drive first so I can move my data to it before I send the failing drive in. I think I'll take that option.

In short, don't trust Seagate... I have the problem with a beeping and clicking drive with my 500 GB 7200 RPM Seagate Momentus HD on my laptop although the SMART say it's fine. On the other hand, my Western Drives never have problems.
Aside from that, it's a good idea to back up important files often.
altuixde:
I have two Western Digital drives, and I've never had problems with them either. There was an annoying virtual CD partition on one of them, but I was able to hide that. I guess the only reason why I bought a Seagate drive is because they had the highest capacity bus powered drive at the time.
Accoun:
Since we're talking Western Digital, their "MyPassport" (or whatever it's called) series are just normal SATA inside? It died on me some time ago and it might be only the microUSB port on the casing...
