While we are waxing philosophical on HDs... I have a question... I have a 20gig IDE drive that I have been using on a Mac 7600 at work, and it has been running fine (it runs pretty much 2/4/7 except on weekends).
Then.... (!!) ...The other day the light flicked off/on in my office building. Not even enough for the digital clocks to do the "blinking 12:00" routine. But AFTER that, my HD seemed to be, well ... noisier. Now, when it is doing heavy cipherin,' it sounds like someone is dragging a saw across a concrete floor. Like a metal against metal GRINDING ... but other than the rather disconcerting noise, it still operates within normal parameters. What has happened to my lil' hard drive??
