He said all the dead Libs that he worked on had had their HDDs replaced at some point. But from his description of the problems he encountered, it seems unlikely that they would have been caused by proper installation of either a larger (in MB) 8.5mm, or 9.5mm HDD. My bets are that there have been as many dead Libs that had bigger 8.5mm HDDs newly installed in them as their were dead Libs with newly installed 9.5mm HDDs.
