(Each has 2 HDs---one is for ghosting) If you have that many failures, you should check your incoming power lines and possibly invest in a power conditioner. It sounds as though power fluctuations are killing your drives. Or maybe you're buying refurbs? I use many more drives than you and I see failure rates of one in twenty over a year or less. Seagate drives being moved in and out of sleds and enclosures with about 1 terabyte online all the time. Power conditioners on all. Inconsistent power is a hard drives second worst enemy after heat. _andrew webb --------------------------- WebbWorks Words & Pictures mailto:andrew@... http://www.webbwork.com
