If you have a drive that is acting weird, I would run a test on it. If it
fails, get it replaced while its still under warranty. Western Digital has
free software that will read every part of the disk. It can take 5-7 hours
for a 2TB drive if its connected with SATA/eSATA.
I'd have to research
Dan,
I would say there are actually 3 levels of drives:
Cheap consumer drives - 1-3 year warranty
Better consumer drives - i.e. Caviar Black, 5 year warranty
Enterprise drives - 5 year warranty, usually designed for RAID arrays, i.e.

When you see unavailable, I think its best to call/email with the idea that
everything is available regardless of what the website says.

One of the nice things about the Northeast, referred to earlier as
diversity is that there are ethnic neighborhoods. Some date back to the
early 20th century, where Italians, Germans, or Polish residents first
settled. Some more suburban communities that were once mixed are now
mostly populated

While I don't suggest exceeding the speed limit by 50%, some states have
draconian speed limit laws which help foster a belief that that speed limit
laws are stupid. Take VA for example - anything 80MPH and over is
considered reckless driving, even though the state has a maximum speed
limit of

In some Northeastern states, like New Jersey, property taxes are
acknowledged to be high by the state government. When completing state

deduct it.

If you get a speeding ticket in NJ you cannot show up to court without a
lawyer and it is generally worth the cost to pay a lawyer to negotiate the
