hmmm because they are more likely crap

I went for Seagate as until recently, they were good drives. When I replace, what are other users experiences.. I have been looking at Hitachi as we havent seen many of the 500 gb+ drives for recovery.

[rameez]

Hitachi is crap .

[pawn3d]

Not Lacie or Hitachi!

fyi, never had a problem with Seagate.

Do we measure it in terms of performance or on a DR perspective?

Still got my old maxtors which are still going strong after like 3 years Ive had 2 WDs before and they failed after a year.

[Gasman]

most seagates have 5 years warrantee, must be a good reason for that

[thatdellguy]

Something I found on the Internet:

Effective from January 3, 2009, Seagate will be cutting the warranty period from 5 years to 3 years on selected bare drives.

Drives affected by thins change include:

Barracuda 7200
Diamondmax
Momentus 7200
Momentus 5400
Pipeline HD
Pipeline HD Pro
DB35
LD25 5400
Drives purchased prior to January 3, 2009 will still carry the 5 year warranty.

Seagate is keen to point out that this change shouldn’t reflect badly on drive quality or the confidence that Seagate has in the product:

[rameez]

"confidence that Seagate has in the product"

Confidence that u will loose your data for sure if u use them long enough .

Here in Tahiti they order what ever is the cheapest on the market to get at the time. I think they go to trading companies to find what they want. Wish they would read these posts before buying all the crap they do here. I see mostly Maxtors, WD, and Seagates, Toshiba and IBM for laptops. So it is hard to say which is the best you get what is available here
