Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.
I'm not too worried, though (although others may be). Chances are,
if the drive is going to die, it'll die in the first year (the IBM
drives seem to have a pretty good reputation thus far ;-). If Bason is
pretty good about their one-year warranty, that's probably good enough.
Anyway, for future reference, does anyone have any recommendations
for better drive vendors (ones that have the IBM DCAS drives in stock)?
