They're the only company which has ALWAYS offered 5 year warranties on their
high end drives and never got bought out.  Further, I'm not aware of them every
selling their most useless crap price-point-only drive with less than one
year... and iirc, that was only on external drives.  The crap retail
please-dont-put-my-name-on-it drives were three years minimum (and even most of
them had five years).  Heck, even their laptop drives have a five-year
warranty.

Other comanies have all either go bought out or had drives with as low as 90
day warranties (though I think they're all up to a minimum of a year again)
