Any effects on Puget Systems going forward?

I'm not sure it will change things much. Seagate is going *really* short on warranties, so no reason to switch to them. WD is keeping 5 years on VelociRaptor and Black drives, and only shortening to 2 years on Blue / Green. That isn't too bad, really, so unless there is more to this that I've missed I think we'll be fine
