Hi Bob,

Actually if you check their web site. They brag about the new policy and as 
long as it's with in the manufacturing
date let's say 03-30-2005 no matter who owns it. the warranty is good thru 
03-30-2010.

The $50 dollar rebate also helps. IDE AT and Serial are included. Very 
quiet...

I used Western Digitals for years but lately they just aren't what they once 
were.
I do recommend keeping the drive partition under the 137 gig barrier. I hate 
having to "count" on a controller
to maintain the full size of the drive.

A few years ago I wasn't too happy with Seagate during the merger of Conner 
and Seagate. I had Hard drives
branded as Seagate but booted as Conner drivers. (Old stock re-labeled) But 
all and all Seagate products were
good. Just somewhat higher priced at the time. What keep me in the Western 
Digital and Maxtor camps were the
rebates.
I am not sure if they are making any more SCSI drivers But then again look 
at what we continue to run for software :=)

Take Care,

Al
