It's currently running the test on most of these. The sdd drive is the new one. The sdc drive is the same model but a couple years old, which is why I bought this one since the last one was working fine. The sda/b drives are WD of different sizes. sda has the OS on it and I think it is the black type. Sdb is a small backup drive that I copy things like family photos and such too. Yea, I also have DVD backups that are not here at the house.

What I may do is redo the file system and copy a new set of backups over to it. Sort of give it a bit of a workout and see if that spots anything. I bet as it is, they won't let me return it or anything. It is working, just making that noise. Dale :-) :-)
