Re: Useful data for system builders
no drive was as bad as the old Quantum Bigfoots. I think I saw more of those fail than were even sold. It's like they spawned little failing versions of themselves when you weren't looking.

Totally forgot about those. Yep those were the worst. At the computer shop I worked at back then we kept a bunch of controller boards for those around so we could save people's data. There was a Lucent chip on the boards that got crazy hot and would explode. So we would swap ours onto the customer's drive just long enough to get the data onto something else.

One year further, one more blog post:

Potentially useful info if you're in the market for a drive.

Everything WD I've ever used is still running today lol. Great hardware.
I've never experienced a better customer service though than Intel's warranty rma process for SSDs though.
I had one die and they had a brand new one at my doorstep three days from me dropping the dead one in the mailbox, after spending less than five minutes in a live chat with a customer service rep.
