Flame war on a mailing list? Nah, will never happen. :-) We have over 100 workstations at work and so far the WD Blue drives fail the most, Seagate second, Samsung third. At home once I get a bad run of one manufacturer I usually get ticked off and find another to switch to. I originally used WD, then Maxtor, then Seagate, then Samsung, then WD again... where I am now. Dan
