They changed the aloha shirt style but in general they are the only authorized employees who can wear aloha shirts.

Or if you cant get Steven Chong than ask for John Gilliam and tell him that I sent you. John manages the direct sales and approves any price quotes. If you have any difficulty with getting any questions answered or help in general then let me know and I will contact the GM.

RE: [luau] Western DIgital Drives / Hard drives in general
IBM's outright SUCK,my opinion based on experience. I've replaced practically ALL my DTLA's due to failure I bought them from different locations so I know I didn't get all of one batch). The GXP's are so-so, had a few fail. However, RMA is fast and easy to do. The best experience I have are with my SCSI's. Although my IBM SCSI failed, my Quantum Atlas's kick butt. I think Maxtor bought them out. Same drive but different label. Get SCSI if you want performance and reliability. Cost more though. ATA wise Western Digital is good for OC never had a write buffer error on those, as well as my Quantum Fireballs. I also heard that batches of Hard drive are better depending on where it was manufactured. My 2 cents. Randall
Re: [luau] Western DIgital Drives / Hard drives in general
There are some drives still floating around with a 3 year warranty. I believe they are left overs. I just bought a Maxtor 6Y080L0 yesterday with 3 years. WD makes a special edition series that offers decent performance, price and a 3 year warranty. In fact CircuitCity on the mainland had a 80GB for $79 after rebates recently, not bad for a 80GB UDMA5 7200RPM drive and way cheaper then anything listed at Pricewatch.com. (http://www.wdc.com/products/Products.asp?DriveID=27) Of course WD now has an extended warranty program too, imagine that. (http://websupport.wdc.com/store/extwarranty/index.asp) You are dead on with the SCSI suggestion. I have a few older 10K Cheetahs in my Win machine that are still kicking great.

Re: [luau] Western DIgital Drives / Hard drives in general
Western Digital, IBM-Hitachi, and Maxtor still have 3 year warranties on their 'performance' IDE hard drives (8MB cache). On Thu, 2 Jan 2003, Robert Green wrote: > Are all industry hard drive warrantees now shortened to 1 year? Are > any of the drives carrying longer warrantees?

I had an IBM drive that I sent back to them (out of warranty) and they shipped me another one anyway. dean -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+FIt/ppeRAf8wEb8RAq/eAJ93WUFwcjLID/66AeNPrhuxork+GgCeLoLU nnSsyfBRSfYbHWU4JN81Wb0= =o6yS -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Are all industry hard drive warrantees now shortened to 1 year? Are any of the drives carrying longer warrantees?
