Much the same as the reports of IBM problems in the last year,
in late '97, early '98, more serious reports of WD problems surfaced.
WD's RMA rate went sky high, they even had to recall a few models.
So IME, (I use to use WD's), they haven't been worth buyin since.
Also, search for Civileme's WD reports on the list archives. Problems
with Linux support, CRC shortcuts/errors, etc. IOW's win-hardware.
