If you use enough drives you'll find bad ones from every vendor and distributor - and they tend to be bad in batches. I'd guess you just hit a bad batch. Get your warranty replacements from the vendor - I've had pretty good luck with those even though they are probably mostly rebuilt units. Most vendors have some sort of diagnostic utility that you can run if you suspect a problem. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
