Sounds like your luck with them is the same as mine. The third one crapped out this morning, its 5 months and 3 days old. By the sound it was making before I removed it Id guess the bearings are scrooged. Maybe I should try to talk them into replacing it with a different brand name. Im off to check my warranty. Pretty bad, this was a replacement drive for a drive that only lasted 3 weeks. > > On 18-Mar-04, at 02:15, Nick W wrote: > > Out of curiosity, has anyone on the list had bad experience with > > toshiba 2.5" > > drives?
