I was at my mom's place when I saw that one for the first time. We were both in tears...
For the record the line goes: "You did it nibbles! Now, chew through my ball-sack."
I support a small callcenter with 160 identical Deskpro EN's, some of which were supplied with Fujitsu drives. (Ok, Identical apart from the drives...) All were purchased about 14 months ago and I've RMA'd most of the Fujitsu drives already, 43 in total and a few are still running. Not a single failure from the Seagates, Maxtors or WDs.
It hasn't been a major problem here since the workstations are all imaged and data is not stored locally, but I'd hate to have this happen to me on my own system. There is usually no warning, then suddenly the drive won't even spin up. So far the replacements have always been from Maxtor or Seagate.
I agree that Maxtor had a bad run several years ago, now it's Fujitsu's turn..

Techs ALWAYS give answers just to make you go away. And of course, it's bullshit.

Well no, but some cloths might come in handy.
Laugh if you like mister, but when that bell fails, you'll be DAMN grateful that the horn is there so you can still beep at the pretty ladies.
It's super useful! If you need to wirelessly transmit pr0n to a balloon 29km high.
That thing's huge! I could cram like 15 Pikachus in there!

So does the light really go out when you close the door or what? Dying to know.
