The 200gb Seagate sata drive I was having trouble with is officially dead now. When the system was running, the drive was resetting 2-3 times per second, was undetectable by windows, and generally as useful as floppy disk. Actually I think 2 million 1.44mb floppy disks would be more reliable than this drive is. Tomorrow I shall be making a trip to Umart to R.A. this drive before all my classes if I get time.

This is a major problem for a storage device company. I build computer systems for people to make some cash and I now have very little faith in Seagate products. I don't think I could morally recommend, or purchase a Seagate drive for anyone else's system after this.
Hitachi anyone? What better solutions are there?
