1. Comment - Seagate Buys Maxtor for $1.9 Billion

   (Dec 21, 2005 - 11:15 PM)

   Bad news I say, I hate Seagate hard drives, and Western Digital as well. I have had a Seagate drive combust on the work bench, I have had and seen more Western Digitals, and Seagate hard drives fail than any other hard drive. For me, this is a bad thing, I have had to replace a computer lab FLEET of hard drives that were Seagate and Western Digital, that were very new, they all died, one right after the other almost, all simple workstations, they were replaced with Maxtor drives and have not had a single problem since. I would like to mention that the most reliable drives I have ever seen, and the quickest, have been Fujitsu hard drives.
   
   The Competition aspect is also a good reason to see this as bad news, one less independent manufacture, less competition, prices go up, the push for something better drops farther back.
