| 311979 | 2005-01-08 07:46:00 | At what age did they die? You don't have two hard drives installed and have them sitting right on top of each other do you? | Jen (38) | ||

| 311982 | 2005-01-08 09:10:00 | Maybe his PCI bus is running at 40Mhz with the drive at 50°C+ ? Welcome to the harsh reality of needing regular backups. ;) |

| 311983 | 2005-01-08 09:33:00 | Have had new hardrives of every brand bite the dust. Some times a bad batch comes out with immediate failures, some a little longer down the track. WD are no worse or better than any medium priced brand. Backup regularly and its simply a hassle not a major problem. :nerd: |

| 311985 | 2005-01-09 01:04:00 | Maybe just a bad batch, it can be hard to back up the drive when you are dealing in raw video with files up to and exceeding 10GB, bring on blu ray. thanks for all your thoughts. Luke |
