What do you try to prove?
I've just lost both of my disks in pretty new configuration
(the whole system is less than two years old): 340M (7 years)
and 1.2G (half a year). Both - Western Digital. So what? Should
I blame Western Digital that they don't know to make hard drives? :-)
I am not sure either that people understand well what are the difference
between different manufactures. They were said that WD is the best and
they buy WD.
I bough now Maxtor's HD. Works fine. And fast! And much cheaper!
