Larry, I have sourced and bought hundreds of disks drives for about
twenty years. Early on, the going was rough; many failures. Today,
drives are much more reliable. My point about the (fictitious) 72 Chevy
was that I too have seen manufactures go through bad stretches, but
don't pay much
i have come to like maxtor. their turn around time on the failures is very
short. we buy drives of the same physical shape, as maxtor wants the returns
in the original packing

My experiences with Seagate are based upon about 20 consecutive
failures (by Sun workstation serial number) about 10 years ago. After
the first 5 or so, Sun contacted us and started to proactively replace
workstation hard drives - all by Seagate.
I've worked with Sun workstations and servers
Why does this just sound _odd_? It's like you've had so many failures
you've learned their habits. Really, that can't be a Good Thing. But
it sounds like why I stopped using Maxtors (cheap, but at what cost?).
Have you even _tried_ other brands?

All this talk of failure, wasn't someone supposed to tell us about drives
that don't fail?

Your diatribe against manufacturers translated to cars:
You thought that was a diatribe? Really? Seems I should post one
sometime so you can see the difference.
I used to have a
72 Chevy, but it broke down so I won't go near GM.
So, you won't go near GM because of experiences with a car
Hey don't laugh I had two of those cars. They were not as bad as
many made them out to be.

Good point. Same point. Back when the manufacturing of hard drives was a
black art and the MTBF in the low 5 digits I think the brand to brand
differences were more significant. MTBF is now 10 times
