and I have Seagate SCSI drives.  They are not cheap, but one day when I 
had to replace one that had gone south after a year or two, and I 
casually called them up to see about specs or some such thing, the 
person on the other end took the serial number off the drive, told me 
that the drive was still under warranty, told me to stick it in a box 
and send it back for a replacement.  I think that they even sent me some 
sort of RMA label by e-mail to stick on the box.  So needless to say, I 
am happy with Seagate drives.
