Flash vs. hard drive battle heats up (Fortune)

> fujitsu, maxtor, western digital...

"Seagate and /Western Digital (WDC)/, two of the major hard drive makers, have patents that
deal with many of the ways a storage device communicates with a computer, Watkins says."

And I've seen too much of dead Maxtors (they really deserve a dedicated cemetery to hold them
all), which would only leave Fujitsu? There's also Hitachi and Samsung out there.

I've been asking the original question just because I have much more trust in Seagates than in
anything else. Patent trolling is one thing, trusting data is still another one.
