That’s legit the only reason I still remember it. I had just turned 30 a few weeks beforehand, and it had at least a year and a few months on me.

Right on. One of the first computer parts I ever owned personally was a 40GB Maxtor drive, right before or around the time Seagate bought them. I can’t remember how it happened, but at some point the raw drive was dropped down a flight of stairs. Worked just fine for several more years before finally failing.

About a decade ago, I did some contract work for a local credit union upgrading some of their systems and one of their secondary servers had an old Maxtor drive that had over 31 years of uptime on it. It was wild because at the time, that drive had been running constantly longer than I had been alive.

I have an older Razer Blade 13 that was a replacement for a lower end model that had battery issues. It was well within the warranty period (had it less than two months). I had been emailing their support for a couple weeks before getting tired of the wait and just tagged them on Twitter and asked for help. Had a replacement in less than 48 hours. Their actual support is trash, but the social media team seems to be the way to go when it comes to getting actual help.

EDIT: For clarification, I sent them back the bad one and hadn’t heard from them for awhile.
