Under warranty, but...grrrr. > One tip I try to adhere to, although hard to follow when setting up a new computer is this... Try to get drives from different manufacturing batches. Buy from different online stores, talk to the cust service of places like newegg, etc... If you buy a drive that was part of a bad batch the drive may still survive. The likely hood of it having an issue is high though. If that batch has problems there is high probablility all your drives in that batch can go bad. Hard to take the time, but seems worth it. If one fails, all can fail if from the same batch. Lessen odds, buy different batches. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
