Seagate's CEO backhands MAID
He doesn't refer to MAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks) but he does deliver a gut punch to the MAID concept. When asked if he shuts down his PC at night he says he doesn't as the power up process is the most stress you can put a drive under besides dropping it. He believes that if you keep the heads flying drives last longer, hence the reason he never powers any of his systems down.
