Free Acronis based software for Seagate/Maxtor Owners

[Clocker]

Thought this was a good deal since it is free:

Thanks. Seagate drives' value have just increased.

So it breaks out like this:
Samsung drives have low-ish capacity but are reliable and fairly quiet.

Hitachi drives are high capacity but get kind of warm and make noise. Reliability is a question mark, since they seem more willing to use four-platter drives. On the plus side, Hitachi puts normal molex power connectors on SATA drives.

Seagate drives are quiet, have five year warranties and now they come with TrueImage.

Maxtor and WD are still beneath any consideration.

My drive buying choices are a lot tougher now.

Maybe that's because they need TrueImage.

I haven't bought a Seagate PATA or SATA drive in a good many years. I filled a couple 750GB drives for ddrueding a while back and one of them died. That's not a good impression.

But I've been buying TrueImage as part of the standard software load for PCs I sell. It'd save my customers money if they didn't have to pay for it.

In the past year, I've lost more Seagates than WD. When you consider that I've installed 3 times as many WD's, that is not good.
