That company owns movie studios, record labels, magazines, book publishers, etc. They've got a much more vested interest than AT&T in seeing that people pay for content.

I would think the same thing, but they don't really seem to care. I'm not complaining either, because I can't stand it when they do that, especially if they are working in cahoots with the RIAA. There's never anything good (for us normal people) when anything is in bed with those fools.
anyhow, good to hear they let you swap out the HD gy2020. Sounds like the manager used some common sense, which is a definite

Yea, I got home and I set it up and it turned out to be a Seagate instead of a Maxtor. I hope I'm not begging for trouble but I don't feel like going back.

Back in the day, Seagate was the gold standard for professional quality hard drives. Is that not the case anymore?

IMO, you got the better end of the deal. I would take a Seagate over a Max any day. They're both quality, but Seagate tends to have the performance edge. Actually, I can't remember the last time I had a bad HD. I've got some portable WD's, a Seagate in one desktop, a Max in another, WD's in two more, I think both AW laptops have Seagates and my laptop has a Hitachi.

DF, don't say it. Is there a problem with 1 T harddrives? The smaller units appear to be more stable.

There use to be. You can Google Seagate terabyte hard drives and read up on them to see if the problem was fixed. I know there was a problem because I've got one sitting here that needs to go back to Seagate for replacement. i believe the problem was with the drive's software. You can use it but backup everything you do on it.

What I don't get is why people have to buy huge hard drives bigger than 500gigs? What you stuffing into these things? Besides pirated movies and warez....ya know who you are. I used to do high definition video edits for the national park service (btw, best fed agency to work for!) and was loading 3 Hi Def camera dailies on 2 RAID drives with about 300gb each...that was years ago (i sound old). never had an issue with space. It was always more memory and processing power I needed...

Btw deep Forest, you got the best ratio of posts per reputation I've seen in this forum! Good job on getting more signal, less noise!
