I have had great "luck" with the old Micropolis M1924 2.4Gb drives. Had them for 3+ years without incident. So naturally I bought a bunch of Micropolis drives recently of the 4Gb variety : M3243. Well, my "luck" is different. I have sent 3 back. I don't know how much is their "fault" and how much is the environment. Several of the M3243 had a tendency to just spindown after a period of intense activity. Anyways... I'm looking for a different vendor now.
