<< Err, why shouldn't Fujitsu (or anyone for that matter) do this? >> Because in the specific case, Fujitsu's own distributor had already verified that the drive was defective before it sent the drive to Fujitsu for repair or replacement (at Fujitsu's option). It was Fujitsu's repair facility in Hillsboro, Oregon which obviously: 1) couldn't properly evaluate its own drive, and 2) couldn't fix it if its life depended upon it (no spare parts, no board testers). A manufacturer that can't evaluate its own drives, much less fix them, isn't worth much in my book. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
