Howdy, This is concerning a hard drive I had issues with a while back. I been using it to do backups with as a test if nothing else. Anyway, it seems to have issues once again.

When I saw the errors, I then got curious as to why I hadn't received a email on this issue. Well, long story short, I changed the password for google mail and forgot to change it for that Smtp thing or whatever. Fixed that now. Anyway, no clue how long this issue has been going on but there it is again. When I google, some places say this is somewhat normal. Some say it needs to be watched and some say the world is coming to a end and we are all going to die a horrible death. Me, I'm thinking this drive came out the south end of a north bound something bad, skunk maybe. Basically, it stinks and I'm not real happy about it. :-@ Since this is the 2nd time for this specific drive, thoughts? By the way, I'm doing a dd to erase the drive just for giggles. Since it ain't blowing smoke, I may use it as a backup still, just to play with, until I can get another drive. I think that moved up the priority list a bit now. Thoughts? Dale :-) :-)
