"Would you like to add Hard Drive cooler fan for faster speed$9.95?"

they didnt claim it would cause faster speed, they only asked if you would like it to happen.

My WD 250gb died around 6 months after I purchased it. Yeah, they come with a 5yr warranty....and my refurb replacement came in with a 90 warranty. So...umm...what happened to the other 4yrs and 3 months I had left of warranty? :rolleyes:

Maxtor seems to have the same warranty program.

Seagate is different, though. If your Seagate dies, and has..lets say 4 years left on the warranty, they also send you a refurb. BUT, the refurb has the remaining warranty left over from the original drive, and so the refurb you just got from Seagate now has a 4 year warranty. Much nicer method of doing business and looking out for the customer IMHO.

I didn´t know this when I purchased both of my Seagate drives, glad with the "news" :)

By my standards, Western digital is the off-brand now. They were held up drives and still are, but five years is unbeatable. In five years the drive will go obsolete anyways, so it is just easier to have the reliability. I am tired of getting the finger from companies and until WD and Maxtor shape up then, they can screw off.

I used to be a big WD fan (never liked Maxtors) but I gotta agree with the Seagate right now. Stellar drives and adequate warrantees.

i run 25 harddrives in my fleet, 19 are wd 4 are maxtor and 2 seagate baracudas
the WDs have lasted me years and years, only had one drive fail within the 5 year warrantee, about 8 of those WD drives are at least 7-8 years old and 2 are about 10 years old (5.1 Gb)

i guess i was lucky.
