Seagate hard drive controversy persists as scammers discover methods to alter reliability metrics

Jump

  • There were talks about a merge around 2014, but it ultimately fell through. WD and Seagate are seperate companies.

  • Seagate and Western digital are two seperate companies. You're correct in that neither own or are affiliated with the other.

    There were talks of a merger for years starting back in ~2014, but that fell through.

    I did just find out that Seagate is the parent company to LaCie though. They used to (probably still do) make some decently tough external haard drives.

    • This piece of shit will be as useless as the police!

  • Police can't hurt the public if nothing works. Oracle will lock it behind 4 different paywalls, and the Nazismobile won't start afterwards anyway.

    • Asus says they will unlock my bootloader for ...money.

  • Even trying to buy anything from them directly is damn near impossible. Tried purchasing a desktop from their website a few weeks back, and the system wouldn't accept my address as valid. I talked to their support team, they told me they have to escalate it and I'd hear back in 24-48 hours.

    Never heard back. Ended up going through Lenovo, and that was painless.

    I used to almost exclusively recommend Asus or Lenovo to my family and friends, but I guess its just Lenovo now.
