I don't understand your comment. I didn't ask any questions to have answered. You said: "...Just what might have happened to you..." Nothing happened to me.
Just a note: I see people making raid systems and they stack 5 or 6 drives on top of each other with NO cooling and these things are like frying pans. No wonder when all 6 drives die at roughly the same time! They think they are safe when in fact they are killing their drives prematurely.
