I'll say.

The rule used to be "Never buy a drive from a company whose name starts with M."

Then Fujitsu started building hard drives, and we amended the rule to say "In Japanese, Fujitsu starts with M."

Then Quantum got bought by Maxtor, and Maxtor got bought by Seagate, so WTF.

Who am I supposed to buy drives from?

No, no, Seagate is buying Maxtor. Seagates are still good.

Anyway, it seems the Seagate wasn't bad. I shall update my journal now that the server doesn't seem inclined to blow up under heavy disk use.
