    Re: Just pulled a record-setting drive

    Whether or not your drives last has a lot more to do with what quality level you buy than it does what brand it is.
    .
    Usually when I see someone talking up one brand and down another the drives they are comparing are not the quality level.
    .
    Seagate and WD both build excellent drives, they also both build mediocre drives.
    If you go with the cheapest one this week guess what you'll usually get....

      Don't forget that they don't make 'em like they used to.

      Today's consumer electronics stuff is getting lighter and lighter all the time, and drives are no exception.

      ST380011A - 544g
      ST1000DM003 - 400g

      Sure, the ST1000DM003 is a thin (20mm height) drive and the ST380011A isn't, but that's only part of the difference. And an ST31500DM003 (2 platters) is still only 535g - notice something???
