The only drive I have ever had to really fail, WD. It had a lot more than 5 years of run time too. I generally run my rig 24/7 here. That drive was about 8 years old or maybe older. It also wasn't in the best place for cooling either, unlike my new Cooler Master HAF-932 case where the fans blow directly on the drives. Warranty is only the time it is guaranteed to work not how long it will work. I still buy WD drives too. I got several of them buggers here. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
