Of the dozen or so failed drives I've seen over a long period (I'm not a full-time IT professional) only three have not been WD (Seagate Barracuda, just over a year old, Maxtor about five years old, Rodime 40MB about four years old). The first I saw was a WD 30MB hardcard, which wouldn't start up. Fortunately, it had an external (!) rotating part, and it was possible to get a finger to it to kick-start it, after which the data could be recovered. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
