Perhaps, but 'Travelstar' was a brand started by IBM.
Hitachi acquired the disk drive business from IBM several years ago. I have
also personally had more bad luck with Seagate and Western Digital hdd's
than with Hitachi.

Glancing at that article, it seems as though the numbers were crunched for
the drives that they were using.
Might there be other brands that did not get counted because they had not
used them, even considering that they did some research before they even
made the original purchases?
