Screw seagate with a hot branding iron., they used the marketplace to
test a tech that wasn't ready for prime time and likely never will be.
In my employment history I learned a thing or two about helium as I
probably tested the pressure regulatores that gave John Glenn his first
rides, primarily that man has no material that will contain it, the
molecule is so small it walks right thru 2" of monel metal, about 10% of
it a day.. Seagate filled those drives with helium because it allows the
head to fly closeer to the disk, but a month later the helium was gone.
Then it turned out they were shingled, meaning the tracks were partially
overlapped. They used me for a lab rat and I damned sure didn't
appreciate that, not when it was my $250. Seagate will never again get
a penny from me.
