We've had 2 of 4 (WDC 31200 and WDC 31600) fail in Gateway systems less than a year old. The last one that failed, Gateway sent us a Seagate as a replacement - I wonder if they have been getting a high rate fo returns on the WDs (not to plug Seagate IDE drives). Needless to say, all of our other systems are SCSI based without _any_ failures yet (knock on wood). Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
