Sounds like the purchase of Maxtor has dragged Seagate down to their level to me. I've stopped purchasing Maxtor drives because of the high fallout rate I've experienced. That's based on PATA drives, not SATA, SCSI or anything fitted into an enclosure of any form. As an aside, I can't quite believe that artical actually contained "are not compatible with the Open Sauce operating system Linux". Personally I always put the top back on my sauces, so they are rarely left open ;) -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 ====================================================================== Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
