To Joe Lore,

Seagate still offers 3 year.  They were forced to change back from 1 year to
3 year I think (by lost of market share).  At least here in Australia,
Seagate changed back short after their "1 year" policy turned many dealers
away (not all models, but all 7200 rpm drives have 3 years).  I personally
saw WD JB drives (8M buffer + 3 years warranty) took over a lot of
Seagate/Maxtor sales, because of the short 1 year warranty policy.  And
almost all of our WD sales are JB drives, plus, now, there are barely anyone
wants any Maxtor drives anymore.

To Victor,

Yes, all USB2 devices works on USB1, just slower (to USB1 speed).

To Paul Traynor,

Yes, that is what these cases designed for.
