Seagate Momentus ST96812AS = Nightmare

bunch of dead Seagate Momentus ST96812AS

Wow - these drives are frying themselves at my work like crazy. The Seagate Momentus 60gb ST96812AS are a complete disaster. We have lost 8 in the last 3 months not to mention the ones that were lost prior to my arrival. These drives were installed on the first generation MacBooks and when they crash, they crash hard.

Stay away from these drives.

California Academy Of Sciences Pictures

This is a wonderful place and highly recommended. It is very much work the trip. The way they did the environments is really amazing. We got to attend at night and were very impressed. Here are a few pictures.
