I beg to differ. I have gone through 15 (yes 15) WD hard drives. 14 of those are 30GB Firewire inclosure drives. and my 60GB drive died this past winter. I will never touch Western Digital again. Failure after failure after failure. Not to mention a refusal to acknowledge their warranty. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
