Most drives are made in China now, and what a joke that is. China has always made crap and still makes crap. I have had more electronics failures in the past 5 years then my entire life previous, and I am talking about a failure rate. over 90% of those failures were with China made stuff. It is sad, but true. China currently makes crap. Taiwan is ok, but mainland China = unreliable.
The silver lining is that hopefully this trend will continue and when the war comes their armaments will fail so much it will cripple them..
