Mark, what is your stance of Hitachi HD's?

Very well engineered yet unreliable junk.

Now, ask me how I really feel about them. smile

Two years ago, I received four very new, very modern Hitachi drives. These have been used very sparingly, and yet three of the four are now dead.

I am sooo glad I didn't pay any money for them.

Meanwhile, yesterday I purchased yet another 2TB WD "Green" drive for use here. Love those, despite the stupid default behaviour.

Cheers
