Yeah. Two hard disk manufacturers I've never had
trouble with are IBM and
Fujitsu. The reason I mention Fujitsu is that their highest-end drives,
and most of their oldest drives all come/came with a lifetime warranty.
There has been many a time when I have found an old SCSI Fujitsu drive
lying around broken somewhere, I rescue it, and they fix it up for me. I
find that very impressive.
I did the same thing often enough that I still have the phone
numbers for the various warranty services for different hard disk
manufacturers taped to my desk. It's a bit outdated though, dated
2/98. I've done it with IBM, Seagate and Fujitsu hard drives. The
Seagate drives didn't have anywhere near as long a warranty as the
others. I know that with the IBM 0664, it had a 5 year warranty on
it.
