Anyone knows when the Seagate Barracuda IV is out?

[ndee]

Anyone has a release date?

Thanx

 

[Bozo Galora]

nothing yet on pricewatch or pricescan

they shouldnt announce stuff unless its ready to go to retail

 

[Shmorq]

It's been about a month since their announcement that it's in production. Hopefully, it's any time now...

It's been on retail shelves in Japan for a couple of weeks, so shouldn't be that long.

 

[Shmorq]

Are they a Japanese company or American? Japan always gets things first!:| Dreamcast, PS2, and now the Barracuda IV!

 

[ndee]

OK, can someone explain me why Japan almost ALWAYS gets the real good stuff first?

 

[randomlinh]

they are the technology ppl? no, really, i dunno... *is* seagate a japanese company??? I don't think it is.. but then again.. who knows.

 

[Pariah]

Probably because the manufacturing facilities in Asia are significantly closer to them than us. Not like a few weeks is anything to get too excited about anyway.

Ohhhhh boy. You guyzzz would have to let Murdock see this post !
Now, for your answer.
Because all the good stuff is made in Japan, or Malaysia, or China, or Costa Rica... WHY ? Because you cant get us...US, stupid ass Americans to work for what we are really worh....not much...
&quot;Oh, I cant come to work today my dog died&quot;......&quot;My aunts coming in from NJ and I havent seen her in 3 months&quot;......&quot;I know I've only been here 5 weeks but my parents wanna take me skiing for 2 weeks at Christmas&quot; Is that cool ?&quot;
Damn..how come I only get 17 dollars an hour and he gets 22 ? &quot;cause your the janitor stupid&quot; !
By the way...all of my employees are Guatemalan, Honduran or El Salvadorian...
