   My own personal experience with MR535 drives is that they are not highly 
desirable items... I worked for a company assembling PCs and, over a period of 
a few months, roughly half of the MR535s I shipped came back dead.

   You obviously are happy with yours, and I wouldn't dare tell you to ditch 
it... but you can add any RLL-rated drive you like, why confine yourself to 
the MR535?

         Coincidentally, most people who fight for "fairness" would be
         significantly better off under the system they call "fair"...
