| 107748 | 2002-12-20 20:20:00 | I'm a seagate fan, but i will say that i find the baracudas a bit sus. I lost a 30gig baracuda HDD once for no good reason, and every seagate i have seen fail has been that "type". Sure thats just one observers viewpoint, but there does seem to be a pattern here. .Clueless |

| 107749 | 2002-12-20 20:23:00 | I've got a 40GB Seagate Baracuda drive. Had it for a while, and there's nothing wrong with it. I think there will always be a chance that your hard drive will fail, and if it does, hope like hell you can get it replaced free or for next to nothing (unless of course you've been dropping it so the reading arms ruin the platters). | agent (30) | ||

| 107751 | 2002-12-21 04:16:00 | Whatever you do, stay away from the Fujitsu's hard drives. We've had continuous failure on them. For us, its not if, it's when the Fujitsu drives will fail. | nzStan (440) | ||
| 107752 | 2002-12-21 04:30:00 | Are they really that bad? Tweak'e reckons to stay away from IBM (is this a fact), all this time I thought they were the best money could buy (more expensive than the competition). Learn somthing every day :) |

| 107753 | 2002-12-21 05:51:00 | 8 Fujitsu IDE drive failures in six months. Lots of pissed off users. Nuff said? | nzStan (440) | ||
| 107754 | 2002-12-21 06:33:00 | Yep, Nuff said. What about IBM? Good or Bad? |

| 107756 | 2002-12-21 08:21:00 | 8 out of 12. We're holding our breath on the other 4. See following news item (www.theregister.co.uk) and you'll understand why I don't touch Fujitsu drives anymore. |
