Micropolis - moon or bust?

Thank you for this tidbit news! :) That is important because I get several questions or read others or helping out other guys with hd's... Who was the company who owned and (also pulled the plug) on this Micropolis? In other words, we have nothing to compare anything to this quality standards that was once Micropolis. Now, that is very unfortune news. Fujitsu is no longer on my favorite list. The definatine quality control of any remains with Quantum and Seagate's top end drives. HMO Thanks...Until anything changes, I will tell anyone who asks about buying hd to either pick Quantum for anything or Seagate (for medium to top end, low end are "Conner" design and QC and importantly compatiablity on master/slave relationship on these are still so so and bit slow). Their former low end before "Conners" replaced 'em were superb after years of debugging and had seagateshield which I consider this neat and good idea for short time! The design mark on these low end drives were left by long gone CDC and Imp---? and still see former designs in Cateeh and some few high end drives. If there is once in a while best deal on new remaining micropolis hds and expect no warrenty on them if the price is right. If I suspect rightly... WD is just ok, still too new to hd making since they're quit their card controller making exactly under 10 years ago. Superb but improvements would be good to speed up the ragged performances, oh well no more controllers from them now. :( ) Especially on newer series currently in production for least 2 years and still have problems with 3 platters drives usually. I hasten to add my tidbit about wdc, few years ago when I was using WD's drives (never brought any except for used buys) in service work and helping out friends. Noticed they can be commanded to seek harder when PIO modes is pushed over (set by on hard jumpered i/o VL cards) faster than their specs which made weird unhealthy noises and causes errors. Quickly put correct setting in order afterwards. Real fun to see WD 420mb hd read from out to in in seconds flat! That horrible noise and nearly metallic noise, ugh! Other than that, I have never seen like that in other hard drives of any makes besides WD. Maxtor, JTS and Samsung is what I prefer to avoid. Side comment: I wonder why several companies pulled out making 2.5" drives (Like to have more options myself.) and one or two jumping in making oddball 3.0" hard drives for portables recently? And finally, years ago, I was told by my best friend in computer service former Conners had problems with 2.5" drives, could anyone have a care to tell me more about this? Jason D.
