You know, I had a sneaky thought about this the other night - my (MythTV) drives tend to fail within a year - so, if I double up next time I buy, I should, in theory, have spares for next time it happens, and can switch over to the new drives whilst the knackered ones are being replaced :)

Can't really see any other way round it, and at least then I don't have to pay for replacements!

Oh, and the drives are fully cooled, and mounted in heatsinks, just in case anyone thinks I am cooking them - they stay pretty constant @ 35 degrees c, but are running all the time.

Cheers,

Richie
