1st Atlas sounded like a B & Decker drill by you, you had to talk
over it and try not to stand on the vibrating floor-boards. It also
spun down if you asked for a defect list or something really strenuous
like FDISK or format (media errors, sense code 03 etc; "leave me alone")

2nd Atlas today, id'd ok, FDISKd ok, Formatted with hundreds of
"Trying to recover allocation unit XXX", and 1.2MB of bad sectors.
These began to grow. Another h/d to go back.

The 2nd hard disk was an Advance replacement which was charged
for until the 1st was recovered. SMC forgot to authorise the 
Courier to collect it, so he refused. Two DOA Atlas's here.

I also noted a disclaimer re paying postage on warranty returns, 
and that I will probably be charged for 3x postage. This is about 
as likely to succeed as getting an ice-cube through hell.

                        Never liked their 2nd album.
