Ahh, young'ns. ;) You're accustomed to brand-new drives dying in a
year or two.   That's a relatively recent thing, designed to drive
sales figures.

Yeah. That's why belligerent bastards like me ALWAYS send 2-year old
corpses back to the manufacturer for replacement under warranty. I
ain't paying for a drive to die after 18 months when I have drives
here I bought and used 10 years ago that are still 100% working!!

  Yep.

Hello!
The only reason why those middle-aged drives work is because they've
got great backup...

I've got a crowd of SCSI drives here that agree with you Dave.

There's also a pair of one hundred year old Yetis outside who agree.
When they aren't doing things......
