- I bought my drive after March, nice to know you cann't depend on
- retailers to give the newest revisions, even if there were known problems
- with older revisions. I didn't get the corrected drive, even while they
- were shipping.

- If it's such a great product, why are you only offering 20-25% of
- it's actual value. These things cost a bit more then $1/meg. Those
- experiencing the problems shelled out a few hundred dollars for the drives
- more like $4 or so per meg, depending on size of drive.
- I suppose if you were to buy a Hard Disk or any product, that gave
- your system a headache, you would just get rid of it for 20-25%. Get real,
- you would do the same as anyone else, try to fix it, replace it or send it
- back, where it should have stayed until it worked properly.
- It tends to piss people off when they have to spend another small
- fortune trying to get fixes, that should have come with the product to
- begin with.
- Don't get me wrong, the replacement I got is another Quantum, but
- it was still a piss off that 6+ calls(long distance) had to be made, to
- even get a tech line, work with a crippled system for weeks while waiting
- for fixes or replacements.
