I've had three go in the past 15 years... I had a Western Digital hard drive go after only six months of use. After going through all kinds of contortions, I got them to send a replacement under warranty. That one lasted about six months and died. The warranty replacement for *that* one was dead on arrival. When they replaced the DOA unit I took it in to my local computer shop and traded it in without even opening the package. There's my three hard drive failures. (Yes, it seems that Western Digital had a problem with one production run of that particular drive, but I've still never been able to make myself buy another Western Digital drive.) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
