Say no more. I've had one of my own and three clients' WD "My Book" enclosures go bad all of a sudden. Mine was a 2T WD MyBook RAID enclosure. I pulled the two 1T drives out, put them into quality enclosures (Other World Computing Mercury Elite Pro quad interface) after the WD enclosure died and have been running them for the past three years this way. Same for the clients' MyBooks. The drives are likely all right, it's the enclosure that sucks. Almost like Sigma lenses ... ]'-) I still have one of those MyBook RAIDs running. It's occasionally flakey. One of these days I'll get a Mercury Elite Pro RAID enclosure, move the drives over, and reformat, reload them from the other archive drive. Meanwhile, there's no risk of data loss as the enclosure is the second archive backup, not used for day-to-day work and mirrored from the first archive backup. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
