"If Seagate* were compelled to provide access to the content of your disks then they'd be a third party involvement similar to Apple."

Ahh but if they were Seagate disks they would have died so you would need to do data recovery on them and even then they probably would not work.
I hate Seagate, had another 2 Terabyte Barracuda disk go in a Raid Arrray this week. I patched the whole with a nice WD jobby and have disks to hand to patch the others as they invariably fail.
