Katzy,
I have a 20-meg in an SE too ... and it's still running too! WOW. Man, how I love that SE's hard drive's sound! Takes me back to my college days...

Over the past 10 years and 7 macs I've had 3 HD meltdowns.
A 20 Gig IBM DeskStar lasted only 3 years, but the 20 Meg no-name in my SE (which is prob over 15 years old) is still going.
As they say, YMMV
HDs are mechanical devices -- they *will* fail at some point... Usualy when you're on a deadline and havn't backed up in a while ;-)

I've been seeing all of these postings regarding various hard drive failures
and I just wanted to check.... I've been using computers since 1984 and
have never had a hard drive fail on me....of course I rarely keep a computer
for more than 2-3 years.
I just checked in ASP on my iMac G5 (purchased in November 2004) and it's a
Seagate 160 gig 7200 rpm and my iBook (purchased in December 2004) has a
Toshiba 30 gig 4200 rpm hard drive. Should I be worried about failure on
either of these in the near future? My guess is 'no'. Please reassure me.
