Our MIS department got a 'great' deal on 2 GB to 20 GB Fujitsu hard
drives. Only problem is that there seems to be an abnormally high
failure rate of these drives after they have been in use for anywhere
from 500 hours to 5000 hours (we are experiencing about a 20 % failure
rate).

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this company and the
quality of their drives. I remember several years ago there was a
company (JTS I think) that made and sold drives dirt cheap, but that is
what you got - dirt. I'm wondering if Fujitsu is possibly in the same
ballpark, because it sure doesn't seem that they last like Winchesters,
Seagates, Maxtors, etc.  Any input s would be most appreciative.
