True, but I know when I went shopping for an external hard drive, the Seagate model had good reviews, darn good warranty too, and it was after that I learned of the recall of over 100,000 disks of theirs for coming with a virus, so was curious if people take the 'recall' notices of products into their research.

or does the fact that the company made the recall negate any bad vibes for them? seeing as how 'recalls' are voluntary.
