YMMV of course. In my case, I was being diligent and backing up things to one of those external USB drives, and the external drive turned out to be a lemon, while the originals are all quite fine. I didn't buy an unusual brand of disc, either, it was a Seagate. I'd always been impressed by them, before. On the other hand, every Western Digital drive I had, and friends, lasted little more than a year or two. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
