No it's not, It's been a well documented issue on people both using Apple supplied 500GB Harddrives and Western Digital as well. It is not limited to the Seagates.

Our thoughts and prayers are with immediate family and friends during this difficult time. RIP and God bless.

from the wiki page which would explain the 1995 date

Will match my glasses!

lol hahahaha OWNED.

exactly, if she just walked away with a settlement of the laptops actual value or even 2-4x the value, nothing would be changed and best buy would never even noticed this had happened, however the 54 million dollar suit brought and media attention forces best buy in the spotlight and to reconsider its store policies and perhaps make a positive change if not they will just take a big hit and hopefully someone will lose their job for the way she was treated and resulted in the end like this.

I think the woman deserve it. i mean best buy repeatedly lied to her about the status of her laptop then 3 months total time before finally admitting it plus, legally obligated to inform her of the potential identity theft which they neglected to do, plus offered her an insanely low amount of $900 towards a new laptop not even enough to cover the original laptop is insulting, i hope she wins 54 million dollars in full for best buy's total negligence on the matter. this will help teach them to not try to screw customers over.

wii want a wii!! metroid ftw.
