I had 5 drives come in. Three needed their HDA's replaced within 3 months. Of the replaced HDA's, two have died already. This makes 5 catastrophic failures out of 8 HDA's. Deaths seem to occur any where from a few weeks to a few months after installation. When these things go, they go quick. One day all is well, the next day you've got 10,000 parity errors. We told System Industries to take them out. We are replacing the 5 SI 9761's (their model number for the 600 (or so) Mb Fujitsu super-eagle). with 7 SI 9751's (normal eagles). We've had 9751's for years with superb reliability. /Kevin Carosso kvc%engvax.uucp@usc-oberon.usc.edu Hughes Aircraft Co.
