My first computer, an old P-150 had a 5gig maxtor in it (which I still have) Had all kinda troubles with it and later found out it had several bad sectors on it. Then, I upgrade that computer and get a brand new 13gig maxtor. Couple months down the road, I start having problems and find out it too has bad sectors. Year or so down the road and I get two nice 15gig 75GXP's and put them in RAID-0. Go to boot up my computer (this was yesterday) and I see my RAID array crashed.

I guess it's good I don't have to RMA the drive, but jesus. Lost all my bootleg aerosmith vids Lost all my music (but luckily I copied it to my friends hard drive so atleast he still has most of my mp3s). Sucks to be me...

That does suk.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..........

hehe, don't worry d_b. I got your CD already made and got your address from the school computers today. Except for delaying shipment 'till tomarrow, all is good.

It sucks, every time you ask me to do ya a favor something' with my computer screws up! :|

Had 2 hard drives die in 10 years (not counting 2 in a row IBM's wouldn't even format right from the store) then just after christmas, 2 month old Quantum AS 40gb dies so I put in the other 40gb quantum that was going to be my raid half and it dies slowly over 3 days while my 30gb 4 month old quantum dies a slow death the same time on my other box. File corruptions and eventually not even recognized on boot up.

Luckily I had lots of files backed up on cdr and the 2 spare 20 gbs. Storage is cheap I learned the first time I lost a hard drive so I ghost now.

Down to 2 older 20gb quantums on the two computers and 3 new rma's waiting at home now.
