I had 10 WD's fail in a 2 week period, all JB series. Right now, there are |
| 7 |
about 200 IBM drives in service for over the last year, very rarely a failure |
| 8 |
not even 10 total. |

If we all shared our failure story's, there wouldn't be a hard drive left to |
| 11 |
buy. WD did take care of our last batch fairly well, better than if we call |
| 12 |
them about a single failure. Yes, I still use both, plus a few maxtor and a |
| 13 |
handfull of seagate. They all do about the same thing, minus the odd batch |
| 14 |
or rare model defect. |
