Because of the 1 year old Hitachi Deskstar I just had to tell my SIL was toast... No warranty because she didn't buy it from Hitachi, but some other outfit. Hitachi tells her to take the drive there and see if there's a warranty. I had a couple IBM deskstars. They died must faster than any WD I've owned. I still have a 6 GB WD drive running. It must be going on 10 years now... I've heard Hitachi makes good commercial solutions (which company doesn't? Service contracts have a lot of moolah.), but from what I've seen the consumer drives really aren't as good as WD/Seagate (now only WD). -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
