Hi Al, Just did some enquiring, and no we haven't had any Seagates fail. Turns out Fujitsu have been the main bad eggs, we've had 6-7 fail in the past month. Actually to correct my previous email, its only been Fujitsu's so far that have been failing, along with 1 IBM drive. Most of the Fujitsu's are from new Dells, and a few from Tiny pc's (now owned by Time). No macs I'm afraid as there's not many where I work. Peecee world at this university :(
