Seagate bungles drive sales patter

Claims highest error rate in the industry

IT SEEMS webmasters on Seagate.com have been using some sort of performance-decreasing stimulant, since the description of one very expensive product went haywire.

Stanislav Rost, our sharp-eyed reader mailed in to ask us a question about this drive.

On a product page for Savvio 10K.2 Fibre Channel hard drives, the ST973402FC was described as follows:" The Savvio 10K.2 hard drive is a second-generation 10K-RPM drive with the highest nonrecoverable error rate of any drive in the industry."

Luckily for Seagate, it's wrong. The record shows otherwise. Or as Croats would say, "pila naopako" (downplaying)

As we like to say, Shirley's made shome mistake.

We would expect Seagate to fix this thing in a jiffy, or who knows - it might change its policy and start advertising hard drive failures? µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
