For what it's worth, when I was a kid (mid-50's), the city of Detroit told the
guy across the street that he could no longer keep his mule in his garage
(since it had a dirt floor and a mule I guess technically it was a stable). Oh
yes they made him put in a concrete floor with rat walls too.

Seems like folks here have a lot of hard drive problems, mine are very old and

Correct, inexpensive. That term came about back in the days when the norm was
80mb drums. Four 20mb drives were much cheaper at only $20K or so. Nowadays, it
usually means independent.
Yes, Scott. There really is no Redundant in a raid-0. Big fast, yes.
Reliable, no. Should call it AIDS

My hard drive horror story:
Bought a Western Digital hard drive -- I forget the capacity but it was
in the mid-90's so it was small by today's standards. Mid-capacity and
mid-priced at the time.
It worked fine for about 6 months then died completely.

I bought one of the Western Digital 1.08 GB drives (IDE) when they first

some machine or another as a second or third drive until it failed about 3
years ago with a spectacular screeching sound. No other hard drive has

In case anyone is interested I finally figured out just what that MTBF
figure is. Not the number of hours the drive is designed to operate as
most folks think*, but how many drives you can run and expect to have
them fail on an average of one per hour.
MTBF is misapplied
I was wondering when Norm would pop up.

Sadly I've had Seagate, Samsung, WD and Maxtor drives fail at one time
or another. The only ones that failed under warranty were a Maxtor, and
a Western Digital, both died within a few weeks of purchase. Maxtor
