Agree ... nothing's perfect. I've (knock on wood) had no problems with the OWC enclosures to date, and neither have my clients. But I do keep a spare enclosure just in case. The WDs I've had and seen that failed weren't power supply failures ... they were firmware failures. The RAID's firmware code just bricked it, and the others the interface died. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
