 I dunno... my roommate arrived at work one day to find the fire deparment
 there. His WD controller board spontaneously combusted ovenight, melting a
 chunk of the motherboard with it and setting off every smoke detector in
 the place.

 When contacted about the possibility of getting a replacement controller,
 WD politely told him to go away - they have recently been taken over and
 are not too concerned about old products, according to the PR droid.

 I'll think twice before buying a WD product.
