RE: Attention: Hard drive failure

This is the first time in nearly 30 years of computing that I've ever had a hard drive failure. Well, let me qualify that: Starting when I bought this POS machine in December 2008 is the first time I ever had HD failures. This is the third time and the manufacturer keeps sending new drives by different suppliers. It's either bad luck or there is something about the chassis that's frying these things. Knowing the odds, I went without a back up drive this last time and got burned. Not catastrophically, but it is as annoying as hell.
