Seagate is the only company that has really jumped into the 1-2 gig market with a really fast drive at a decent price. Comparable HP's or DEC's cost twice as much and they are not any faster or reliable. And, I'm not sure they run all that much cooler. If Sun stuff's Seagate drive's into the pizza box SparcStation box's without adding the proper cooling capacity, then it simply become's a waranty problem for Sun. And, then it also becomes a problem with Sun, and not with Seagate....... Let the blame point at the real offender, not the scapegoat.
