I second that. I've got two 9GB Barracuda SCSI disks that have been running non-stop in a server since 1996--13 years. I bought a Maxtor single platter 40GB IDE drive in 2003 for a workstation new system build, drive failed in 2006, just less than 3 years later. I've got a 15GB (Seagate IIRC) IDE drive in another workstation that's been running for around 8 years and still going. All hard drives will wear out and fail. It's just a matter of when. The two Barracudas I mentioned above are running on heavily borrowed time... -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
