I always use them for drives. IBM drives IMHO stink...almost as bad as Western Digital. I only use Maxtor in Desktop machines, and Toshiba in laptops. IMHO you are being paranoid. Just send the drive to them and be done with it. They are insured and reputable...if not bonded. No one will try to recover your data. -- ============================================================== Kyle H.
