Kodak, after years of trying to commit suicide, seems to have decided that their future was no longer in film, paper and cameras.
Good for them:clap::flower:

What others say:Quote:
I should of checked here first but my research lead to the same thing. Looking on Amazon for one of their drives there are 4 reviews. 3 of which say their drive died quickly, with two saying that Emtec doesn’t honor their warranty. They will apparently not respond to warranty requests.
After reading that, I’m going to avoid these drives like the plague.

They rent out the Kodak name for people with too much junk on hand. Just like Polaroid. The name is the most valuable asset to the company. I remember a “Polaroid” digital camera on Woot years ago, someone commented it’s a “great brand” - I replied that if you would buy a camera with the same specs and warranty that had the name “Craparoid” go for it!
Even when a company like Kodak survives, it makes money by leasing out it’s name for brand recognition. How committed is Kodak to ‘producing’ - (picking a company in China to rent it’s name to), great reliable solid state drives? Google search Kodak Solid State Drive… yeah.

I like how they couldn’t even get SATA III right on the label…
Well---I was impressed for a little while anyway! :o:
Maybe the success here will be to hasten the suicide :dunno:
Maybe they should look into producing buggy whips.
That's where the money is for the manufacturer since it's a common wear item...They wear out under constant snapping over the horse's head...Buggy whip sockets are usually just OEM purchases since they see little wear, and only get replaced in case of damage from a collision with another buggy...I understand Kodak has a large inventory of buggy whip sockets ready to ship, and needs funding to retool for buggy whip production...:crash:...Ben
