- San Francisco, CA (October 21, 1993) -- SyQuest Technology (SYQT-NASDAQ) today
- announced here at Seybold San Francisco, a warranty increase to five years on
- all 44 and 88 megabyte 5.25-inch removable hard disk cartridges shipped after
- December 31, 1992.
-
- “We increased our cartridge warranty based on the results of SyQuest’s
- quality assurance testing and ten years of actual field use,” said Joel Levine,
- SyQuest’s vice president, product marketing. “SyQuest drives are popular
- because they are a reliable, easily transportable and cost-effective solution
- when more storage is needed. The warranty increase gives customers another
- reason to choose SyQuest technology.”
-
- SyQuest’s SQ5110C 88MB-capacity removable hard cartridge drive is
- read-write compatible with both the 44 and 88 megabyte cartridges. The
- company’s SQ555, or 44MB drive, reads and writes to the 44MB cartridges while
- SyQuest’s SQ5110 reads and writes to 88 megabyte cartridges and reads 44MB
- cartridges.
-
- Along with this major increase on its SQ400 and SQ800 media warranty at no
- additional charge, SyQuest will continue to offer an industry-leading two-year
- warranty on its 5.25-inch drives that have a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
- of 100,000 hours.
