I <3 Seagate

[NiteWulf]

A while back I bought a Seagate 120GB hard drive. It stopped working one day and I finally got around to mailing it in for warranty replacement. A couple of minutes ago UPS came to the door and dropped off my new 250GB hard drive! Woo!

I checked the packing list and it's the right drive in the box, so I don't think there's a problem with me keeping it.

I :heart: Seagate now

it is common for them to send you a larger drive for something that is "out of production"

Read carefully, you sure it's not 250MB? 😉

Lot's of Harddrive companies do it, although I've only had WD and IBM upgrade without asking...for some reason, Maxtor always seem to have the same models in stock.

From IBM I received a 68-pin Hitachi drive with 16MB cache for a replacement of an old 80-Pin 8MB cache drive.

From WD, I got an 80GB drive for replacement of a 60GB one.

Maxtor, I've always gotten replacements with the same model/size, and they have all died soon after replacement. I currently have 4 Maxtor 120GB drives lying around that cannot be trusted to hold data. 🙁 They all work for a week, then disappear from my computer.

When I had to RMA a KDS 19" flat CRT that I got on clearance several years ago as the model was discontinued, the first one I got back was also bad so they then gave my a LCD as they had no more CRTs in the system.
