I know right?   I'm amazed they still work!

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!!
