Seagate Hard disks

Well Seagate have certainly speeded up their returns system, I posted my faulty drive back to them last Monday and I've just received an email from them advising that my replacement drive has been despatched today.

Getting better, Ray, they must be up to speed now from the sound of it.

Looks like it, Rik, the last one took over 2 weeks before I received the replacement.

Sadly, practice probably makes perfect.

They're certainly getting plenty of practice of late.

Indeed.

Thumbs up to Seagate my replacement drive arrived today, now installed as a second drive in my main desktop PC, and all checks out fine with the disk.

Give it a month or two though...

I took a risk and bought a 7200.12, the new 16mb cache 500gb single platter, it;s a pretty fine card, heavily optimised for transfer speeds, so access time is pretty poor sadly, and it is extremely quiet, I cannot hear it at all even when seekeing, where I could most definitely hear my 500Gb Western Digital AAKS.

The problem Seagate have had is with their 7200.11 they were pretty catastrophic, it reminded me of the IBM deathstar.
