I do plan to check and see if it is under warranty. I'll do that after |
26 |
I get things moved over and can test a bit more. Who knows, it could be |

Murphy and he will just leave at some point. ;-) I'm pretty sure this |
28 |
drive is close to three years old tho. Heck, I can go look at the |
29 |
Newegg order history and find out. I would think the manufacturer goes |
30 |
by the date made where a invoice dated later would tend to slide that |
31 |
out further. |

|

Either way, I'll find out. If it is under warranty and can be swapped |
34 |
out, that would solve a few issues. I'll have one backup drive at |
35 |
least. ;-) |
