I agree that a HD will last between 6-8 years. If you think that your Western Digital Hard Drive (one of the crappier drive manufacturers) will last 114 years, then I have a bridge to sell you. Hard drives are moving parts, with motors and drive arms and heads. Things break. It happens. The important thing to remember is that if the info on that drive is important to you, then you should back it up. -- ============================================================== Kyle H.
