Just about all drive Brands have had problems in the last 5 years.
Quite some time ago now Western Digital had short life spans on Cavair drives.
Fujuitsu have always sucked.
At least they are consistently bad
Seagate have had mixed success with older models the medialist were real suspect drives.
Newer Drives have been quite good in my experiences with them.
Maxtor drives have let a lot of people down over the years. Even the newer models ATA133 I refuse to deal in ,not worth the grief.
Yes DD ,
Intermittent Business Machines HDD arm was bought out by Hitachi and to my knowledge they denied any responsability to IBM's customers for failed IBM drives warranty.
Unfortunately Fujitsu drives are one of the most common drives in notebooks today,witht he exception of Toshiba notebooks they use Toshiba drives.
Notebooks are dropping like flies with Hdd failure as well.
When people tell me "ohh but I don't have time to back that up all the time,I ask them "do you have time to rebuild all that data from scratch ?."
Drive is all to common these days, and it shows the manufacturers have little faith in thier products by the recent warranty reduction from 3 years to 12 months.
