We actually have a device known as the MEG-1 Box that purposely injects CRC errors between the drive and the host as part of our standard FIT testing.--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Customer (tbsky lee) 10/08/2002 05:32 AM hi: thanks for ur information!! can u tell me if all the products in the market now doing CRC correctly? i mean, all the AB,BB,and JB series.. thanks for ur information, so i can tell others!! thanks a lot:) Regards, tbsky --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Response (Barb) 10/08/2002 09:16 AM Yes, all Western Digital drives use CRC checking.
