Wow, do we get different drives to you here in Australia? I've been selling WD (only the BB and JB models mind you - 7200RPM) with my systems since their WD400BB came out and was voted fastest 40Gb HDD at the time. That was a while ago, so you can see how long I've been dealing with them. They carry a three year warranty which is better than most. BUT I've actually never had to return one yet. So I was assuming they were above good, in fact excellent. Can the original poster let me know where this 'timebomb' information is please? I'd like to read it. P.S. Currently using a WD1200JB (the 120Gb with the 8Mb Cache). LIGHTENING! (for an IDE drive I mean) Regards, Ed. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
