[quote threeprong][quote Black Landlord]The only out and out hard drive failure I've ever had was the stock Hitachi in my MDD.
Not counting my Maxtor that's been giving SMART failure messages for months but seems OK otherwise.
You do realize of course that you just jinxed the Maxtor. Back up now.
Thanks. It hadn't occured to me to back up. Do you really think that's necessary?
I mean, I'm sure I will get a more final warning when it;s really about to go, won't I?
