Those of us dinosaurs who use the same computer and hard drive for the better part of a decade won't even notice.

I've only ever had one HHD fail on me, and that was a 240 meg drive that was original in a 486sx50 puter I bought in the mid 90's.
I still have a 420 meg drive running piggy-backed in my home puter for who knows what reason, it's been in there forever and never saw a reason to take it out.

Anuther reason why I won't buy a laptop. I can change a hard drive on my desktop puter in 5 minutes, but them laptops aint zackly user friendly on the inside.
