</div> This is about the whole 1024 vs 1000 thing. Even if you were to get a cut<br>
of a personal damage award for this, it probably wouldn't be much. It probably<br>
wouldn't be enough to cover the extra shipping charges involved in an RMA.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I neglected to read the complaint fully. I thought this was about the bad drives from a while back causing data loss. Firmware on 1.5TB drives I believe. That it's about the size thing is really stupid. Drives have been specced that way for as long as I can remember dealing with HDDs. Not to mention formatting overhead and such. This suit is stupider than I anticipated. </div>
