    i used to be a WD+Seagate man.

    But last year orso ive only been buying Samsung, hitachi and WD for myself and when building PCs for others.
    Dunno y i havent bought any Seagates in the last year but now im happy i havent.

    Stil got 2x320 7200.10 in raid in this PC. Been thinking of upgrading them for a while now and the urge has been getting bigger and bigger everytime i read more bad news about Seagate.

    Think its time for them to start firing some people. Cause tbh this looks like a few guys overthere are pretty incompetent

    Well, I think happens in a recession. But yeah they should have AT LEAST tested the firmware BEFORE releasing and bricking drives, not AFTER .
