apparently doesn't know that every Netapp FAS, IBM DS, EMC SAN head, DataDirect enclosures (and many others) all come from Xyratex? Seagate's drives face an uphill battle simply because their product has a seriously bad reliability history. Sure the 10k/15k SAS line hasn't been bad but NOBODY will touch a Seagate SATA drive even if was made in Taiwan instead the utter, unmitigated shite that their Chinese facilities produce.
