don't think it is just you.
i always wondered if the flag was more like:
"if custmr_spprt = afterhrs then goto: screwem"
since it always seems to be midnight on a weekend when these things happen to me.

That's what I've heard as well (Seagate better than WD).
I can't figure out why I've had such rotten luck. I've
checked the temps on the drives and they are very cool
(much better than the CPU). Maybe Seagate has implemented
the infamous "if jeff_layton" flag that I seem to find in
all of my codes :)
