Western Digital Vs Seagate Settled

post #1 of 8

Thread Starter 
As you can see from my sig I've been had been having bad luck with my HDDs. I sent back a Seagate 320gb and a Western Digital 320gb. Seagate sent me back a refurb of the same drive, Western Digital sent me back a 500gb Cavier Black.
So there you have it. Western Digital wins.

By the way this is not meant to be serious but to express my joy in getting an extra 180gb free

True story ...ironically it does me no good due to RAID 0, but I definately appreciated the thought. Doing advance RMA was cake too. Hold times were less than 5 mintues if any (dont remember). Dude was Indian, but getting whole thing set up took less than 5 minutes. Drive RMAed on 2/15 and extra 110gb arrived on 2/18. Pretty awesome imo!

Definitely gave me some brand loyalty

I will swap your 7200.12 for a 2GB drive any day! I can write XT on it with a Sharpie if that will sweeten the deal...
