> ... mountain of good info deleted I have experienced drive failures with every brand imaginable as well... the real issue is that the brand and model doesn't say much from month to month about the quality of the drive. (I know, you covered this.)
The real thing everyone should keep in mind is that if you care about the data on a drive: do backups or use mirrored drives. backups and mirrors don't really achieve the same goals... I prefer backups myself. Bottom line is though, if losing the data would be painful you better make sure it's on another disk or some removable media (CD, DVD, tape, etc.) Just my 2 cents. PS: I have 8(?) year-old 4GB Seagate SCSI drives in my computer at work and despite being painfully slow by today's standards (not to mention small) they absolutely refuse to die.
