9 the upside for us to using Samsung is as boring as a three year
10 warranty. then again, it doesn't _really_ matter much, since the
11 price of a modern hard drive is less then the cost of actually
12 reinstalling a box. it's almost scary, when a drive dies in a
13 workstation at work it costs my employer more to have me bring the
14 box up again then the cost of the drive.

16 it would be nice to have drives that didn't die, but we all know
17 that isn't going to happen. :-)
