You have nothing to suggest this to be the case. Do you have a dated record of what the number was 3 months ago? Because to me it looks like it was properly changed and the dude just fucked up on his buying.
You have nothing to suggest against it. Honestly this is just arguing about some random guy at this point, which is really fucking stupid. I just know that right when Samsung got bought out by Seagate, and for a good time thereafter, I'm pretty sure their labels on Newegg weren't updated. At this point, neither of us know the truth.
I think you have no idea what you're saying at this point, because I believe blatantly pointing out a model number is just short of outright acknowledging that fact.
I think you have no idea what I'm saying. Hehehe.
Your incapability to notice diversions and acting based on them before I start pointing them out is frankly not a concern of mine.
... You never pointed that one out. I did. Not that I care at this point.
Why are you regurgitating what I said?
Why not?
Done. Page 12.
I don't see anything reputable on page 12. I believe that's what this entire diversionary argument was about. It's out of date.
What you should be proving here is what you set out to prove initially instead of "case closing" arguments while half-proving a diversion (don't forget, this one had two halves only one of which you've adequately proven) which is fine and all since I was the one who went along with it... but I am still waiting.
I don't even know what I'm trying to prove against you anymore, honestly, or what you think my main point actually is. I'm starting to not give a shit because this just keeps going in circles.
Here's the basic status:
Are consumer reviews valid?
Me: Yes, I believe humans are at least that smart.
You: No, everyone but me is a fucking idiot.
Definitive answer: Not possible without data we don't have. As in, no one did a study on how many drives were returned that actually weren't dead, to test how valid consumer reports truly are.
Is there a better source for this type of data?
Me: IDK but it's not a study that's outdated.
You: Yes, THIS ONE SITE MADE FROM DATA FROM JUST ONE PARTICULAR DEALER IN FRANCE IS SO FUCKING AWESOME EVEN THOUGH THE HARD DRIVE MARKET HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN.
Definitive answer: There's no follow up study to see if that study is still valid. So no one knows. However at the very least Samsung's drives have been changed in terms of model number to Seagate's scheme. So something about the study is outdated. However, no one's done testing on the new Samsung drives compared to old. So again no one knows.
Warranty=Quality?
Me + Kira: There is correlation between long warranty and quality on something like a hard disk. If a company put out a shitty drive with a 5 year warranty, it would go bankrupt quickly.
You: No.
Definitive answer: There is none.
We're arguing about things that have no definitive answer, so naturally both of these points come down to one of us going yes and the other going no every single post because we've both stated all the points we have, and then we're going to keep restating them in different ways. I've seen that happen a lot before. I usually end up dropping out at that point and looking like the "loser" (because we all know the guy that stops arguing on the internet is the one that lost the debate).
Should I just start responding to all of your points with "yes" or "no" and seeing how many pages we get this to before the topic gets closed by a mod?
Smart move. Acting like a child isn't going to get you anywhere, although you probably shouldn't have told me that you removed it because that defeats the purpose of removing it. The fact that you used profanity in your unedited post is just going to rub me the right way.
Yes, and you using copious amounts of personal attacks on me in your last post was extremely mature. I'll be sure to follow your example when I want to not act "like a child" in the future.
