Out of all the companies that could do this, google be the one!

An enlightening read.

I want them to publish the full facts NOW!

This should not be a secret - I want to know!

Who is the best? - who should we avoid? Hand it over Google you fat tart.

EDIT:
I have noticed the link:

agreed, I felt the same way, let me know who was the worst, and who was the best.

bring on the league table and watch consumers recoil in horror from certain brands.

I could have told them that a drive exhibiting scan errors is massively more likely to fail soon.

Why would they want to help their competition save money by telling them what specific makes/models to avoid? they're rather have Yahoo & MSN waste money on poor drives.

...Plus saying that brand -x- sucks might find them on the receiving end of a lawsuit as well.

Bottom line:
- If SMART thinks a drive is going wonky then you better rush out and get a new one right away
- About half the failures come out of the blue with no warning

But don't ignore SMART warnings, it's typically right. :-?
