    they arent Sony. If anything they're made by another company and Sony just sticks their badge on them. Whether the disk is any good or not depends on who actually made it (the OEM).

    oh, and if you can pull the label off the product, they are fake, but i probably done that, but it was not going off. and it was from steel.

    Sony does not make hard disks. For that matter Apple don't make iphones. They are made by a different company (called an OEM) and the company that you believe made it merely puts their name on it. The iphone OEM is Foxconn.

    yes, they are cheaper than Seagate.

    It was first detected shortly after they released their 1.5TB hard disks, and has been known to affect 1TB and 750GB disks too, and I assume also the 2TB though I havent been watching the situation. I believe anything below 500GB is safe, and also anything produced prior to the firmware introduced with the 1.5TB drives.

    probably. If you got it before Seagate released their 1.5TB drives, then yes.

    its not about price, its about reliability. Samsung and Hitachi are the most reliable at this time. WD are pretty good. As it happens, Samsung 1TB drives are the cheapest 1TBs (internal).
