You may be right but I THOUGHT it was Fujitsu.
Whatever it was, it's
working fine. It's already outlasted several Maxtors and Seagates. I just
checked the device manager and it says that it's an IBM drive so it doesn't
identify the actual manufacturer.
Sorry, Joe, but you're mistaken. The drive you got is an IBM-branded
Hitachi (as are all of the drives we used in our final 200 or so
systems -- we'll be shutting down the computer facility sometime
in the next couple of months).
I'd have to pull some records but I'd say we used at least 500 of
the IBM/Hitachi drives -- and I KNOW that we had a zero failure
rate on them.
