This section seems to be incomplete. It reports only the plaintiff's viewpoint and nothing of the defendant's. Nor is there any report of the ruling. 83.104.249.240 (talk) 18:15, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Some additional comments: I've read the article, and it mentions "high failure rate" of this model (that's probably why this drive is notable). But as far as I see, there is no explanation of this. Was it a design flaw? How did the company addressed it (besides of changing the warranty)? Did the company faced any reputation losses because of that (I mean - maybe some big companies decided not to use Seagate's drive in future, etc)? Was this issue (if it was technical) adressed in later models? Artem.G (talk) 20:11, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Artem.G: I found this article from last week which raises the issue about this specific disk, years later. So I think it is reasonable to conclude it was fixed in later models. It talks about the parking ramp that was constructed from different materials and therefore breaks. Do you think this is a good think to add to the article? The original source is a German data recovery company, who are experts in this field. PhotographyEdits (talk) 14:59, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think it can be included, though I don't know whether it can be considered a reliable source. But anyway, it's an interesting piece, that put some light on that issue. Artem.G (talk) 15:14, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's good enough. I've included it. PhotographyEdits (talk) 15:35, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
