Dear Ed and the list members,
Besides providing a Heads-up notification regarding suppliers, is there
anything else that a group like this could do in-order to provide a stronger
voice for our members in situations like this.
Would "us" members be interested in, this type of service or whatever that
could be created, to help the membership with issues like this where it is
clearly a company's department and their execution of their policies.
Is there something that could be looked at that could be a suggestion
"check-off list of tasks to-do" that would help members to have a possible
somewhat standard process and/or procedure to use ? Then with some type of
tracking, to do maybe on a bi-annual reporting to membership of the currently
accumulated results either within a newsletter or on the group's site.
What do you, the list and the board, feel about this idea ? This would be a
way of the membership helping each other in our field, now-a-days.
Regards,
Harvey Rothenberg

The question you need to ask yourself is not so much the probability of
receiving a defective or damaged drive... Because that can happen to anyone.
The question is how you'll be treated when/if that occurs.
In my case, I received 3 drives. One of them worked for a few minutes. One
worked for a few hours. And the third one is still working. The so-called
dents on the damaged drives are so miniscule that I definitely wouldn't notice
if they were present originally. Even if I had, I would have thought nothing
of them. They're THAT small, in plastic, around the SATA connector.
Definitely not relevant to the operation of the drive, unless they're an
indicator of excessive G forces at some point.
I know I handled them with care, didn't drop them or bump them or anything. So
while I cannot say definitively whether or not it was prior to the original
delivery, I can say definitely it wasn't caused by me.
