- I guess I have been lucky as well. I've got a *very* old Segate ST225,
- that has been running for 7 years now. Granted not 24 hours a day but
- about 15-18 a day. And even though I got spurious sector errors some
- years ago, which cleared up after a low-level reformat, I have had no
- problems!
