who cares

I don't need or want a fancy, glitzy interface to change system settings maybe once a year. Why bother? Pay the deisgners to create something useful like a better looking Microsoft Windows. Navigating the BIOS with a keyboard works fine and it's quick. That's all I want.

my allegiance is gone

For a while now I only purchased Seagate drives and recommended them because of the 5-year warranty. I guess those days are over. Now that Seagate has deemed themselves merely equal to the rest of the manufacturers I'll open up my decision to include everyone that has a 3-year warranty.

Way to go Seagate. You've lost the loyalty of this customer.
