Re: Yet another victim.
Thermodyne,
What you say about the qualty / price reminds me of the 170MB Quantum I have. Can't remember the price but I was using Windows 386. It still runs on the same system though I only fire her up for show now.
It is on this system:

Re: Yet another victim.
Are you having an especially hot summer up there above the Equator ? I know most of my component failures happened during warm weather.

Re: Yet another victim.
Well, my computer is in an air conditioned room, with plenty of ventilation.
Time for a discussion on What are the best/worst drives to buy...
The one I just lost (after 6 months) is a Maxtor, the sixth drive I've had in this case.

Re: Yet another victim.
SJ, you mentioned you have not had to replace the case. You did replace the power supply right? Power supplies are notorious for acting like they are working fine (right voltages etc) all the while cooking off motherBoards and disk drives one after the other.

Re: Yet another victim.
Yep...
After burning the replacement drive I bought, I had looked into it and found the original PS had started putting 13v on the 12v line.
I bought a fancy enermax power supply right after that, and got two new harddrives, all six months ago.
