Have Fujitsu Harddrives Been Failing in Record Numbers? [Slashdot] If your hard drive has started to show garbled characters in the BIOS at boot, or just does not pick up. You may be victim to what could be the biggest hard drive manufacturer failure rate yet! Our company is small OEM system builder and we have been hit by a failure rate of %90 of the hard drives we purchased a year ago. We might be lucky because we stopped buying after rumors of hard drive issues 3 months after Fujitsu Limited made some major changes. IBM had a pretty crazy rate of failure and was telling people to turn off smart mode. I've called Fujitsu and they said that there is no problem! However, a simple search for bad fujitsu hard drives on any search engine will point to some angry folks. One notable link is this Register story." Has this problem followed Fujitsu drives into other countries, or might they be limited to the UK markets? Have you noticed an unusual failure rate in Fujitsu drives compared to hard drives from other manufacturers? |

against a wall trying to solve a programming problem then suddenly finding that
one tiny obscure and seemingly unrelated piece of the puzzle that unlocks the
solution. Oh yeah!"

which is me, is also feeling the pain of the 2002 bear market. So rather than
pout about it, I bought some stuff on eBay that I really didn’t need, but made
me feel better."
