- gukov 12y agoWhat makes your drives so good?
- atYevP 12y agoOur guess is that they kiss every one of them before they leave the factory. For good luck...
- linker3000 12y agoPlease do not publicize our trade secrets.
- atYevP 12y agoShit.
- Jetlag 12y agoCan you explain what "assets" Toshiba got to start their 3.5" drive business? Are HGST and Toshiba making very similar 3.5" drives?
- linker3000 12y agoCan't help with that one at all.
- Someone1234 12y agoYou don't work in the HDD division, right? Someone seriously needs to look into ADM (advanced power management) on your 2.5" drives. It is currently set too low and the drives power down instantly after each instruction, resulting in simply astonishingly terrible IO (and seriously lag spikes). It is so bad even running HD video off of some 2014 HGST laptop hard drives causes distortion. There's also no way to increase the ADM value indefinitely that I am aware of (it reverts after every sleep).
