In this case I should expect mines to fail in the next months too. How odd! The only way to get symptoms like the one you describe is getting the surface temperature of the disk platters higher than the Curie point. It should not happen. I think that this thread is becoming an off-topic but, what drives would the Soekris community recommend then? Is it better running the operating system from a CF card instead? In some cases, a HDD makes sense. What about the new solid-state drives? Are solid-state disks a better alternative on Soekris computers than traditional drives?
