I recently purchased a La Cie Cirrus 42 drive which uses a Quantum P40S drive.
La Cie said that Quantum just raised their warranty to them to five years and
they are passing the warranty on to their customers. Their previous warranty
was two years. I do not know if the warranty applies to Quantum's 80 meg drives
but I would be surprised if it didn't.
Apple has an atrocious warranty on their drives compared to the rest of the
industry. Maybe if enough of their customers complain they will change. Apple
used to listen to their customers, didn't they? Or is that just folk lore?
