Raving? The reviews are mediocre to poor and for good reason. I got a Navigon 7100 when it came out and tested it extensively against a Nuvi 660. I ended up giving the Navigon to my kid because it is just not "ready for prime time." The Navigon has some unacceptable problems with routing and...

Richard, I think you need to be careful with whatever advice your attorneys are giving but there are scores and scores of cases just like this thrown out every day. I know I used to work in a stat AG office. This is why, as has been noted the BBB and the state AG's tuned down all requests on...

Huh? I see many different diction and compeltly differnet authors reveiws and frankly professional reviews showing serious problems with the Seagate 7200.8. I am not for slamming a company, seagate makes great drives, but the concensus is there is some kind of serious problem with the...

I cannot beleive you would mention the Seagate 250 when it comes to reliablity! They are the new "deathstar." the seagate 300 gb (and 250 and 400, are the least relaible drives on the market today As far as proof just check storagereview.com You are giving out all kinds of false...

no it is proving to be very UNreliable.

please tell me a 250 gb hard drive that is more reliable? you do know the 250 drive with the longest warranty (seagate 250 gb) is the least reliable? right?

I've been buying, installing and servicing hard drives for over a dozen years years. IMH(but expert)O, a five year warranty is next to worthless. If the drive is going to have a problem you are going to see it in a couple of months, and if you take five minutes of research you can actually...

I don't dispute the forums around, but I really can't take the forums seriously. Why, well look at the storagereview.com "reliability survey." Those whose work touches on the math sciences should be able to recognize how statistics designed to tell us about drives really end up telling us...

I just want to say in my (too many years) experience, on the occassions I have had to RMA Maxtor, WD or Seagate, I have gotten new drives. I would add that 95% of the failures I have seen occured during burn-in. In my experiecce drive failures are due to manufacturing defects, shipping...

I agree. I am outraged. I just sent an email to Sony notifying them that newegg is stealing zipzoomfly's pictures! :Q Seriously. years ago I worked at a job where I helped producing catalogs and ads, and later some web material for several major retailers. ALL the product photos and graphics...
