It would appear that modern Hard Drives do not like or are not made to run continuousley or maybe i should say the retail versions of them at any rate the IBM drives very nice fast but aptly nicknamed deathstars i have had 1 die compleyely and another one started to fade so i took it out Maxstor likewise Seagate the cheap ones wiht the small cache on them seem to drop like dying flies the one with the 8Mb cache so far sem ok not had the latest one show problems yet (Xx) crossed fingers and toes i gettin sick of changing them the IBM by the way died on an Slackware 10.0 box running EXT2 fs I see it all as a ploy to get us to spend more money make the drives crap so we have to replace them more frequently OR :-) ..maybe Mr Gates &Co have teamed up with the hdd manafacturers (SP) to make crap drives cus he is losing money on windBloZe now so he is making a slice of the replacement hdd market one never knows what tricks he will get up to ..
