We've returned Panthers several times for mechanical
noise that was annoying enough not to want to live with
it, and one just went bad with low level media problems.  Of
course, a Seagate 1GB also just went bad in the same
manner.  Very annoying, and the vendor, CUBE RTE, is
rather slow to address such problems.
