skimmed the notice and i think it is another frivolous lawsuit. Just drives up the price of future products.

Was this the class action suit brought because hdd manufacturers used the 1000mb=1 gigabyte standard instead of the real 1024mb = 1 gigabyte?

So 5% of what you paid after rebates but without tax?
Hmm. One 500 gig, three 250s right now. I had 3 other 160s before this.
Time to go receipt hunting!
