New Samsung drive

[Paddyw01]

You didn't read my post I guess. It says I've owned at 240+ Samsung HDD's so if I were to count the five non-failiures (that I only RMA'd because it's easier to pay £3~ P&P and have a new drive in 2-3 days than it is to unmark the sectors that are fine) then the 'failure rate would be <2%.

By going on about Maxtor you don't help yourself either, it just goes to show how invalid these silly rants are. What you're saying about Samsung is worth as much as what everyone say about Maxtor. You even make all sorts of colpletely unsubstantiated negative assumptions with regards to Samsung not solely making HDD's and the opposite with regards to WD. You're just having a silly rant because you had a bad experience, that's fine, post an opinion but don't try to make things up and realise that there's no evidence to support your claims.

Yes I did read your post and that number could've easily been 180 or something completely different. I'm terribly sorry for having such a low IQ that I couldn't guess the number you were reffering to.

No what I'm saying about Maxtor is what I've said all along; they're reliable hence my statement about Maxtor. But going on your logic, everyone on this forum who've had bad experiences with Maxtor are the equivalent of me having had bad experiences with Samsung. As far as I'm concerned though, all claims posted on this forum about Maxtor are bull, and I know that for the aforementioned reasons, whereas I can prove how bad Samsung really are. Although I'll still get people like you who are prepared to put up with dodgy goods, then waste them and more resources by RMA'ing them. I find the whole Samsung situation sad as WD could put the resources to much better use.
