Well, it tells you how good that particular Fujitsu is. I had a whole batch of seagate disks die on me at one company. That doesn't tell me how good Seagate drives are. I have 600Gb of filesystem entirely on seagate drives here, some fail some run happily. No disks are perfect, but it's rash to imply that Fujitsu are a bad disk manufacturor because one disk died! Personally fujitsu and IBM are at the top of my list above seagate on who to order from.
