With my recent experience with Seagate, a company that I thought once produced a quality product, I would like to know what brand of hard drive would you trust your data on?

| This is a trick question, right? You should never trust any hard drive with your data - this is why you back up religiously. That being said I've had the best luck Hitachi, worst luck with Maxtor. |

In the past I had never had an issue with Seagate, but after this ordeal with them with 3 original drives failing and 1 replacement being shipped to me defective, I have second thoughts for sure.
The originally purpose of replacing my drives back in January was to avoid this very situation (see site news for the details). For the servers I have regular backups and that schedule has now been increased. I in the process of implementing a replication type copying of files and DB backups between machines. Also now both machines can take the place of each other, although performance will suffer.
Also Maxtor is now part of Seagate, and after this issue, there seems to be a lot of chatter of the pour quality of these drives.
Thanks for the feedback. |

| Here is an update on my Desktop Computer. Yesterday the newly replaced Seagate hard drive CRASHED AGAIN! . I have had it with Seagate. I will take the loss on the Hard Drive cost and I have ordered 3 new Hitachi Hard Drives. Once I get my Desktop back in order, I will be swapping out the Server hard drives. The time wasted dealiing with Seagate and having to constantly replace drives and cloning and restoring data is becoming counter productive and taking me away from other tasks and projects. Heed this warning, SEAGATE DRIVES are CRAP! See Site news forum for details on the main issues I have had with them. |

| Mail Server v1.0.7.5 | |
Mail Server
- Hopefully fixed a problem which was causing mail server to stop
Web Interface
- Web interface now will work with Safari;

| Mail Server v1.0.7.4 | |
Mail Server
- SMTP now supports two methods of authentication: AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN;
- Improved the way how "stuck" delivery threads are getting cancelled. In some cases with previous versions
they could stay connected infinitely long;
- If a domain is in greylisting exception, and SPF is PASS, DNSBL will be not checked - to avoid blocking messages, when
single IP addresses belonging to large ISPs are blacklisted by DNSBL databases;
- Now there is an option to check all IP addresses, referred to in RECEIVED headers, against DNSBL databases;
- If autoresponder is enabled, and return address is not specified, now the server will use username, plus @ symbol,
plus either the first domain in the list belonging to the domain group, or domain group name itself;
- If SMTP for account is disabled for an account, connection will be still accepted, if it comes from web interface;
- If there is an unsuccessful attempt to log into the POP3 or IMAP server, or perform uncussessful
SMTP Authentication, and entry is created in the Windows application log;
Web Interface
- Fixed a problem with messages, containing embedded images with same name - was giving Resource already
in use error when displaying images;

| Mail Server v1.0.7.3 | |
Mail Server
- In previous versions "stuck" IMAP connections were not getting disconnected, because it was assumed that
IDLE command can "stick around" infinitely. It turned out, some clients (e.g., iPhone and iPod) do not use
IDLE command, but still leave connections open, which causes open IMAP connections to add up. In this version
IMAP connection gets periodically checked, along with POP3 and SMTP connections, and gets disconnected, if it
was around for long time, and currently is not in IDLE state;
- Fixed a bug in Archiver: copy function was copying entire folder, not just a selection;
- If a list of trusted or banned hosts contained blank entry, it was returning false positives. Now
blank entries are just removed;
- If remoting service cannot start, now it not affect other services. Before
it would crash other services too;
- Added View Log Folder option to the mail server UI;
- Now catching exception when reading server start date/time. It appears, server startup times
was not getting stored properly into the Settings.xml file on non-English versions of Windows;
- License is now checked onlny at server startup, rather then during each connection. It appears,
decrypting of the license and checking it's signature was taking pretty long time on some systems;
Web Interface
- Fixed a problem with processing MIME messages, when part separators (boundaries) contain space;
| | 1/3/2010 5:36:30 PM |
|
| FTP Server v1.0.2.1 |
- Fixed a potential security threat - no longer accepting very long command lines, which would
cause server to crash;
| | 12/3/2009 11:58:34 AM |
|
| Mail Server .NET v1.0.7.2 | |
Mail Server
- Fixed long delay when sending mail to large mailing lists, containing large number
of local recipients;
- Optimized access to trusted and banned hosts lists;
- Added an option to allow bouncing only to local users (Options - Server Options
- Delivery;
- Further optimized resource consuming processes, such as POP3, IMAP and delivery;
Web Interface
- Fixed multiple problems with displaying complex multipart messages;
