The difference is, the software most of us rely on is open source, and is known to have been inspected by some very smart 3rd parties who have their own incentives to make sure it's as good as the authors say it is. The process is far less transparent with the disk manufacturers. For all you know, they're actually using ROT13 (no not really, but you get my point). We're talking about people who essentially redefined the terms to measure the amount of storage they provide in their products, to suit their own priorities... =8^) -- Derek D.
