Seagate is one brand I will not buy nowadays. After their 1.5/2TB fiasco, and more recently with one specific line of drives, so bad that they got a huge number of 1 or 2 stars at newegg. When 3TB drives were in the $300 range, after the flood, that one specific model was still at $150 or so - word was they were just trying to push the inventory out and screw the customers over. It's almost as if the Maxtor side took over. -- http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk "This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity." -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.
