Seagate Kills Linux Support
Posted on April 18th, 2008 at 6:01 amI never thought I would see the day when a hard drive manufacturer would go from indifferent to outright stupid all with one drive release. Apparently, it has happened. It seems that Seagate has opted to forgo compatibility for anyone other than Linux users and that’s a real shame, as I have always been a satisfied Seagate user. And as you might suspect, based on where this article is appearing, I happen to be a full-time Linux user.
Sending A Very Strong Message. I don’t really understand what Seagate expects to do here, other than a flurry of negative articles like this one about their otherwise good products. It’s a shame, yet Seagate has made their bed, now they will have to deal with the consequences of their choices.
Now if you happen to need a new hard drive I’m sure that you will do just as I plan on doing and that is making sure that the name on the box will not be Seagate, the company led by fools, Baldy.
