returned them and got two Seagate AS series SATA disks. No problems. For

had bad experiences in the past with Maxtor too, so I prefer Seagate
these days.
For what it's worth, I've got a WD Raptor (SATA/150, 10000 RPM, 8 MB cache)
in my system and, aside from running a bit warmly, it's given me no troubles
in the approx. half-year that I've had it.
I've also a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 (PATA/133, 7200 RPM, 8 MB cache) which
is nearly a year old and also runs without troubles. (I use this for my
multimedia storage as well as for backup storage of various things.)
Perhaps it's simply a fortunate coincidence on my part...
Yeah but the Raptor is a different beast again. The JD series is your
run of the mill 7200rpm SATA disk. In fact I've sold a number in the
past, and this is the first time I've thought twice about them.
Also, I think the Raptor comes with a 5 year warranty? or was it 3?
All I do certain is steer well clear of Samsung... evil experience a
while back. Put me off for good.
