I don't have any experience with the Hitachi 1TB SATA drives, but I=20 know an outfit that was trying out the Seagate 1TB drives and had 8=20 out of 12 fail their burn-in (a 3 day torture test) My luck with=20 consumer SATA drives has been incredibly dismal, with ~40 of them in=20 service I see multiple failures a year, including drives being DOA=20 and dying after a few weeks of service. I wouldn't be at all=20 surprised if one or both of the drives was bad right out of the box. =20 It could be something else of course, but don't discount the fact=20 that they could be bad from your troubleshooting just because they=20 are new. =2D-=20 Thanks, Josh Paetzel --nextPart1850222.mM4mAsBVcG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGpjdNJvkB8SevrssRAiFwAJ0SqBeMcqvv3zDU4o8wY91VIJgdPACgiqMZ +0S7aEdlAPWZ1YpBhngjggI= =Z8nz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1850222.mM4mAsBVcG--
