I don't disagree with you at all. I'm talking about the other end, the poor 
souls who wants to choose the best HD. I 
still believe it's impossible to know enough to make a decision that makes a 
difference, a least without spending 
enormous effort - only to discover that one has to start over again, as models 
have been discontinued and new models 
reached the market.

Even the best manufacturer doesn't really know how a new model will fare in the 
real world until there are many 
thousands in service. Back when I spent a lot of time reading reviews, I 
encountered examples of this. A model would 
have problems and the manufacturer would change the drive, then later users 
would say it was fine.

The least cost solution, in time and sanity, at least, still seems to me to be 
the one I outlined.
