[Cialug] OT: Seagate and Maxtor thing again.

Wed Dec 21 16:03:44 CST 2005

I've had absolutely nothing but experience with maxtor drives. Two years
ago, I bought four. 3 failed in the first 6 months. They exchanged them,
but they shouldn't have died in the first place.

So now I won't buy Seagate and Maxtor...

I guess I'm getting a bit crotchety in my old age.
