A drive in my home PC only seems to last 12-18 months, yet I've been running the same drive in my C3000 @ work for several years. The last drive that died was a 200G Maxtor, and it died a quick death; I was sitting there typing one minute, then the next it sounded like marbles in a blender. Normally you get *some* warning; a few errors here and there, clicks, slow starts, etc but this time there was no advance notice that it was going west.
