Hmm whose really to blame?
Seagate is at fault. They are supposed to have some sort of Quality Control.

If 99.9% of 500GB drives are bricking that means they didn't even test the firmware on that particular drive. They probably tested it on a different size drive, and made the same changes in the firmware of other drives, and assumed that that was the only thing they changed, there was no need to test it across all the various sized drives of that model.

That's the only way I can think of that would give them a 99.9% failure rate.
