No, I'm not that stupid. :) My old job, we had the big LaCie drives and
one of the 4 250Gs in it would fail and they were f*ed. I went to replace
the drive right away so I wouldn't be in that situation.

When I went to rebuild in the BIOS it failed at 2%, no matter what 250G
drive I put in to fill the spot.
