Made by whom ?

Western Digital, Seagate, Maxtor...

All of which are brands history has noted for premature failure.

Could you make any more of a nebulous remark? For one thing all drives
eventually fail. "Premature failure" is about as off the wall as it
gets.

In the case of Seagate, a case I well remember, both the original SCSI Barracuda
drive I'd bought *and* its replacement died with a month of installation. I
certainly call that premature.



Did Seagate promptly replace them for you?
