@matigo Big companies love spending money.
@matigo I think I might know the one you are thinking about.
What’s a guy to do when messing about with 11 year old hardware that most of the world appears to have willfully forgotten about? 😕
@matigo Jolly good! I’ll give 19.04 a shot tonight and we’ll see how that fares.
Hey, @matigo, you are running Ubuntu 18.10 right now aren’t you? No major issues or anything?
@matigo I remember Maxstor. Think I bought a few of their drives back in the far distant past.
@matigo I’ve actually had really good experiences with WD the last 8 or so years. Have several external drives that just keep chugging along.
If you had asked me back in 2001, I’d probably spew all possible hell over WD. Back then they managed to make hard drives that weren’t compatible with Linux… a somewhat impressive feat of engineering.
I’m sticking with Sandisk until they seriously misbehave. Has worked flawlessly for years.
