[rescue] Identifying SGI in picture for interests sake

[Shawn Wallbridge]

I don't know if those Hitachi drives are from HiTechCafe, but I bought 8
there for work and so far, 5 have died in less than a month. Thankfully,
they ran out of stock, so they are giving us a credit for them. I am
buying new Seagates instead.
