That would be it. You think about this tho. A hard drive has two things going against it. Electronic failure or mechanical failure. Mechanical usually happen with age, USUALLY. Electronics mostly fail at the beginning of life, USUALLY. There are exceptions to all this of course. So if one doesn't get it at the beginning, the other gets it in the end. :/ Weird huh? Can't win either way. Maybe we need a 60 day burn in period before being sold. That should help a little at least. Dale :-) :-)
