I'll do that after I get things moved over and can test a bit more. Who knows, it could be Murphy and he will just leave at some point. ;-) I'm pretty sure this drive is close to three years old tho. Heck, I can go look at the Newegg order history and find out. I would think the manufacturer goes by the date made where a invoice dated later would tend to slide that out further. Either way, I'll find out. If it is under warranty and can be swapped out, that would solve a few issues. I'll have one backup drive at least. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
