Fujitsu will spin off the division into a separate company which will then be purchased in full by Toshiba.
Although the agreement is already set, the actual deal will not occur until April ... [ read the full article ]

I personally don't find Fujitsu drives to be worth a dame, ive always swapped them out of Toshiba's notebooks with Seagate/Maxtor drives.

all the Seagate's i have purchased for personnel use have lasted 10 years or more. after about 5 years i upgrade as there is no point in having a 40GB hardrive. although i usually put those 40GB into a raid string.
the 40GB's i bought years ago still work.
OEM Seagate's aren't worth a dame, there actually Seagate's that failed some sequence test's.
Same deal with Celerons there just P4's that failed The level2 cache

Until SSDs are cheaper, and have WAY more capacity, no one's gonna buy them.

What the hell does seagate reliability got to do with this article/..
I have a big box of Fujitsu dead drives for recycling.. I think nobody will mourn these unreliable lumps of metal.. I think the best use for fujitsu drives is throwing them at people.
Can't say the couple of tosh I have seen have been any better either..
I also have seagate drives which are 10 years old and working just fine.. Every so often they do like a maintenance cycle using the manufacturers tools for the odd bad sector... what kills them (and every other drive quickly) is that stupid always reading/writing windoze pagefile junk thing... not the hardware.
Worst drives I know (as a professional server engineer) are maxtors.

Fujitsu drives stink so back you could smell them a light year away. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
