3 Major HD Makers Recalling Drives? [UPDATED]

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the backup-the-pr0n dept.

mauriceh writes "Seems that 3 major Hard Disk companies have a problem with defective 40GB platters. A major recall is in the works." Seagate, Hitachi, and Maxtor 40 & 80 gig drives appear to be the troubled drives. Update: 05/30 12:37 GMT by M : There is apparently no recall. Digitimes has issued a revision/retraction, and TheInquirer has a story as well.

    What a better way for the Feds to gain access to tons of information on the population. All to collect information about you under the guise of terrorism. Don't under estimate the power of the dark side...
