I didn't know that.  I'll start with it then let it run at least a 
couple passes of a full test.  I got some good ram so I sort of think it 
is OK.  I really think the power failure the other day messed up 
something, drive itself, some file or something that is causing this.  I 
just get the sense there is a snowball coming tho.

My current plan, finish this new install.  Test the ram and hope it is 
OK.  Test the new install and see if it holds up.  If it does, I plan to 
test the heck out of the old drive.  If it passes tests then I may copy 
my install over and test it again.  If it fails, door stop most likely.  
Are they even worth shipping back anymore?  It may not even be under 
warranty now tho.  It's about a year old.

I'm just hoping for a fix SOON.
