Bruce,

Do you know if Seagate offers any type of warranty on bad OEM Raq4 drives?
One would expect more than 1 year of service out of a lightly used 20GB
drive used in a Raq4 Raid.
It's close to impossible to find  the 20.4 GB Seagates that shipped with the
Raq4i. Did Sun buy out
every last one on the planet just so they could triple the price on them?

Warranty? What warranty?
