If you are relying on the warranty, make sure you have the forms and
proceedure sorted before you buy and have considered that in the eval, i.e
if you have to courier them interstate, then that may tilt the best buy.

Try six that all did that. The only good point about it was that they were
in the possession of a "business partner" who ligght fingered them and
went his own way. Lasted long enough for hm to expend significant $$$ on a
system to use them for a business venture, then died rapidly {:-).

You are *NOT* supposed to exercise your rights in any warranty.

It's not that simple. You will have to compare the specs or
the benchmarks if the specs fail to show the differences.
A 3-head drive may be faster on average if the sector den-
sity (not the platter density) is the same between the two.
That allows for wider inner tracks yielding a higher minimum
speed and lower maximum seektimes.
