Solve : Seagate Owns Maxtor? |
|
Answer» I know it's old news, and many newsreaders (like Honventops) know it, but Seagate owns Maxtor, so if you bad mouth Maxtor and say you'd rather have a Seagate or vice versa.... just because they are owned by the same company does not mean they are equal. i dont know the facts but i would guess seagate hard drives are alot different then maxtor hard drives. just like Wendy's and Tim Hortens, and The Brick and United Furniture Warehouse. both owned by the same companies but very different. Like Adam and Eve? :-? I think Maxtor will wind up ruining Seagate.[highlight]Gate-Tor [/highlight]maybe they will name it [highlight]Gator[/highlight]. Then Bubba can say"Hay,Give me one-uh thoz Gay-ders.Mine got kilt. Seagate has always been my favorite. I don't know PERPENDICULAR recording sounds interesting in the link Gx1_Man provided though.Oh, I never said they were equal. Quote Oh, I never said they were equal. Who?Adam and Eve. Quote just because they are owned by the same company [highlight]does not mean they are equal[/highlight]. i dont know the facts but i would guess seagate hard drives are alot different then maxtor hard drives. just like Wendy's and Tim Hortens, and The Brick and United Furniture Warehouse. both owned by the same companies but very different. Yes, them too. I have used a LOT of Maxtors and never had any problems with them. You get the occasional failed drive from any maker. I do like the Seagate CURRENT 5 year warranty on many models HOWEVER, and got a few of those lately. Yes,I have an old Connor 10-12 years old,a Western Digital 8 years old, a Fujitsu 9 years old ,they all still work fine. :-? Lemons come and go but, all brands seem to hang in there.The old 40 MB Seagate I still have from a 386 still works but, my they were noisy. Sounded like an old typewriter. In your opening statement you say you did not add a poll ...... Did you mean POLE? . LOL, Just goofing around with Dilbert he is a really smart guy.Lucky thing we have him available.He is a top of the line Eradicator. ;DI loved his rants it was like being there. Quote Oh, I never said they were equal. i could have sworn you implied it, but if not, i apologize for my misconception.I didn't imply, but you may have inferred it. Quote ... Seagate owns Maxtor, so if you bad mouth Maxtor and say you'd rather have a Seagate or vice versa....I can see how it could be inferred, even though that may not have been your intent. Anyway, I wonder whether the aquisition actually resulted in any manufacturing changes for Maxtor drives, or whether other factors, such as lowering of distribution costs, were the driving force behind the acquisition. Edit: after reading the article, it seems the aquisition will have some manufacturing impact on one or the other or both drive brands. I'm not saying the two brands will become identical from a manufacturing and design standpoint, but the aquisition does seem to have some implications for manufacturing, if I understand the article correctly.I have found in my experience through the years that people's hatred of HDD manuf. is directly proportional to the type of backup strategy they had in place at the time... Heck i still have a Quantum BigFoot and a 528MG Seagate in my arsenal that run fine when i get nostalgic. |
