I think the problem was with the 1.5Tb drives. Howsomever, it was only
in fairly rare circumstances - only in RAID arrays and other external
multiple storage devices and never under Windoze. Something about sleep
timing and OS timing getting their fingers crossed. I was aware of the
details before I bought mine and it has been flawless so far.
Just got an email from TigerD offering a $10 rebate on the 1Tb Hitachi.
