A little over my head but I didn't see any mention of the errors mine are reporting. I even used find and it didn't see anything. Interesting to read tho. It seems like a lot of puter stuff, the failures are moderate in the first few months then drop and don't rise again until age really kicks in. Seems like some things never change. I have been looking at the following two drives. About the same price but different manufacturers. http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822144422 http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822148143 I wish I could just go ahead and build my new rig with SATA and all that. I just don't have the money saved up yet is all. Thanks for the help tho. Ideas and thoughts still welcome. Dale :-) :-) :-)
