Two of them die. > Me too. My Quantum Grand Prix which I bought last september, died at the end of April. During the repair my dealer gave me an replacement unit (same model). Guess what? After six weeks usage the drive starts to show the same symptoms like my original drive. Then I got my drive back from repair and after installing it, I recognized that the spin up time was very long. I reassembled the system to check the disk and recognized, that it was a much older model than the one I bought once (I never seen something like that, the whole board side of the hd was coverd with dust. They send back a complete other disk). Now I have a brandnew Quantum Atlas but who know's who long this will last. Never Quantum again!!! My Conner and Seagate HD work for 5 years now with out any problems. Armin Armin Herzer c/o FH Ravensburg-Weingarten Postfach 1261 88241 Weingarten Germany e-mail: herzer@fbp.fh-weingarten.de
