The IT Nerd

I’m usually a fan of Seagate and their drives, but there seems to be a growing number of people who have had issues with their 1TB drives lately. A growing thread on Seagate’s discussion boards is the best source to see how ticked off users are. The type of issues that people are having can be seen in this message on that thread. Talk of this issue have also showed up in other places like ZD Net’s blogs for example.

This is actually quite scary. Seagate needs to step up to the plate and deal with this right away. If you want an example of what could happen if they don’t, just look at Nvidia. I’m no legal expert, but lawsuits tend not to be good for business. And that’s what might happen to Seagate if they’re not careful.

In the meantime, if I need a hard drive I’ll be making my purchasing decisions very carefully.
