Kinda kills it for me. I'll wait for a Seagate deal.
Ha, I have a 16 month old Seagate SATA that is now a paperweight and they wont honor their warranty. Reminds me of that Chris Farley movie:
TommyBoy: Let's think about this for a sec, Ted, why would somebody put a guarantee on a box?
Ted: Go on, I'm listening.
TommyBoy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. Seagate puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause they want you to fell all warm and toasty inside.
Ted: Yeah, makes a man feel good.
TommyBoy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?
Ted:But why do they put a guarantee on the box?
TommyBoy: Because they know all they solda ya was a guaranteed piece of ******. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time.
