822982 2009-10-22 05:58:00 Hey getting a new hard drive to use in computer that I was using as server that the hard drive played up in (pressf1.co.nz).

822985 2009-10-22 06:34:00 I used to use Seagates all the time, that was till they had that "little" problem with the firmware a while back - since then I've changed to WD's on all PC's I build, and a couple of my own --No problems what so ever. wainuitech (129)
