Hey all,
I’ve had 3 LaCie and 1 Maxtor drive die on me. I lost many hours of labor and captured media. To recover those drives would have cost thousands. Do you think for a second, even during a valid warranty period either of those companies would have compensated me for my losses? If you do, I have a bridge you can buy.
Sorry folks, I have to agree with DRW on this one. Beyond his valid reasoning about the 5 year vs. 1 year warranties, his idea makes sense.
Have a wonderful day.
