Hiya, Actually, I had a western digital fail completely (as in un recoverable data and all) after only 8 months. The warranty covered it--Thank god, although I lost a lot of unique stuff (as I couldn't afford a backup system at the time.. bleh. But, in general hard drives don't fail very often at all, my orignal drive is now 4 years old and still going strong. Just thought I'd add a couple of cents--this is NOT a flame, just an observation. -t ------------------------------------------------------------------ See: http://tigger.psyc.queensu.ca/~thom/pictures.html if you're interested in some of my pictures!
