Been there, wasted $$$, now I only buy one type of validated, extremely
reliable enterprise-grade disk from Hitachi. :-)  Seagate and Western
Digital both have have serious Q/C problems recently with their drives,
and WD especially makes drives that will fail or function very poorly in
enterprise hardware, all in the interest of being "green".  Ugh.
