I really doubt that. On the subject of azimuth, even Micropolis didn't get it right. We started testing the new drives as they came in and about 40% had out-of-spec azimuth. Micropolis cleaned up their act shortly thereafter--OEM returns can get to be expensive. A testament to the drive quality however, is that I have two such systems using these drives and both still work flawlessly after 35 years. --Chuck
