Actually, the drives are about 5 years old and this box runs about 24/7. The second one is pretty close to right according to the math. That is about 5 years or so. I think the first one lost count, several times I might add. That's only about 12 days. Dang, that second drive is giving me my money's worth. Shhh ! Don't tell the drive. It may blow smoke any minute. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
