I got one Seagate FreeAgent Pro 500GB USB from the SITEX event and I don't care about the warranty. What I'm concerned with is the files that I am backing up from my server. The main reason why I bought this external drive because I want to have a backup of my files. The warranty is useless IMHO because they (Seagate) cannot guarantee to preserve your files once it crashed. They can only replace (at most) your external HDD but not your files which IMHO are the most important. Anyway, what I did on my Debian GNU/Linux Etch i386 server to fix(?) this problem was I enabled the "allow_restart" flag of my kernel by executing the following command during startup: /bin/echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_disk/0\:0\:0\:0/allow_restart HTH. -- MARVIN T.
