Maybe only a bad batch of Seagates, as Dave mentioned.

When purchasing a drive, can you tell me how to tell if a drive supports "Startup" so I can boot from it. Is there something in the specs that will tell me this. I'm on a mac and it seems most drivers are PC /Windows so its hard to tell if they will be bootable.
You could buy 'em from a Mac-savvy dealer (e.g. Other World Computing), checking with their sales department before purchase to ensure OS X boot support (which is likely).
