A little over my head but I didn't see any mention of the errors mine |
| 42 |
are reporting. I even used find and it didn't see anything. |

Interesting to read tho. It seems like a lot of puter stuff, the |
| 44 |
failures are moderate in the first few months then drop and don't rise |
| 45 |
again until age really kicks in. Seems like some things never change. |

I have been looking at the following two drives. About the same price |
| 48 |
but different manufacturers. |

I wish I could just go ahead and build my new rig with SATA and all |
| 55 |
that. I just don't have the money saved up yet is all. |

Thanks for the help tho. Ideas and thoughts still welcome. |
