Thanks Anthony and Angel, for the info on your HD experiences.  There has
been some discussion recently in a PC related weekly, about current WD
problems.  Perhaps it is just a streak of bad components that can happen
with any manufacturer at any time.  Guess the emphasis needs to be about
the warrantee obtained with a new HD purchase and with the speed and ease
of repair/replacement by the manufacturer's customer service.

One lesson that I have had pounded into me again and again is to back-up
often.  Can't count the number of times I've shot myself in the foot
because I didn't do so prior to a HD loss.  Fortunately, with the price of
HD's today, I usually keep at least two copies of everything on at least
two different HD's.  That is flawed for critical data of course - lightning
could make cinders of every HD under my roof.  Wonder if a warrantee would
cover that?
