No...you are misinformed.  For those of us who have actually had the
misfortune to use Seagate drives...as opposed to just read an article
in a magazine...the abysmal quality of Seagates is legendary.  There
has been no end of bandwidth on USENET devoted to peoples horror
stories after being fooled by the low prices into buying a Seagate.

If you're interested in my personal set of horror stories, send me
e-mail.  

Word of advice:  never take the word of a magazine...especially one as
		 devoted to advertising revenue as PC World...as
		 gospel.  You WILL get burned (particularly if they
		 are pushing Seagates).
