    Forgotten_Fox got a reaction from KnightSirius in Gigabyte is apparently under investigation by the Bureau of Consumer Protection over RMA issues   
    This was posted by a fairly reputable member of the PCMR reddit community detailing their efforts to get a warranty replacement from gigabyte for a motherboard with an exploded cap. Their efforts were met with gigabyte refusing to make a warranty replacement because they claim they had not received the motherboard after having legally signed for the package which USPS had in their manifest records.
     
    "TLDR: Gigabyte's horrible customer service leads to an investigation by the Bureau of Consumer Protection after they refuse to replace a motherboard, they "aren't in physical possession of" even with proof from USPS that Gigabyte signed for it."

    Forgotten_Fox got a reaction from Tech_Dreamer in Magnetic Tape Storage is making a comeback and could replace hard drives in Enterprise and business storage   
    "Fujitsu has announced a new technology called Virtual Integrated File System that it says could help magnetic tape storage compete with hard disk drives as a low-cost, large capacity storage alternative... This iteration will deliver capacities up to 26.1TB (uncompressed) and raw throughput of up to 708MB/sec."
     
    It's essentially RAID for magnetic tape storage, which could be a cheaper and faster alternative to large capacity hard drives.
