I said it was MDT.. They make alot of "economic" server solutions, unfortunatly a little too "economic" for me.. The drives start at like 15 bux for a 20 gig, however if they can't multitask, there is no use for them in the current industry.
I hate slamming manufactorers in my line of work, but this is a product I won't use again, I've NEVER had a drive last UNDER a year. I'd like to rip it open, and see what happened, because I'm sure it's hardware, the disks are probably all scratched up, heh.. or maybe the bearings are worn thin, at any rate, I want a new HD from this company, or at least a check in return.
What I'll probably end up with, is running around for the next 9 months, and then MAYBE a refurbished drive, when I can get a new 80 gig for 30 bux, so I might as well tear into it now, and blame myself later <G>
Thank you for the recommendation, I usually use Seagate (Which is WD..) or IBM drives, purely for the server warrenty. If you notice on your Maxtor (same as quantum) and WD drives, their 3 year warrenty is AWESOME, but is void if used on a server <G>
The sofware I run is commonly found on alot of true hosting servers, and would be immediatly discarded and I'd be sent a rejection letter, and a 1 lb hunk of tasty aluminum.
MDT (Magnetic Data Tech.) is a Maxtor product (to the best of my knowledge) and servers are not excluded from warrenty exchanges. Last time I lost a seagate drive, it was 1.8 gigs, and I had a new drive within a week.
It's been 5 days now, and I haven't even heard from MDT.. Talk about fantastic customer service. I know they don't deal with customers on saturday, so I have decided to give them till January 8th to respond, since they won't, I'll then wait a day, watch the Michael Jackson Arranment, then take a screwdriver, plasmatorch and sodering iron to the drive.
Anyone want a peice of art? (or trash?)
Thanks <G> (the venting felt great!)

I'll be editing all ships, and most planets. Eventually we will edit stardock, however that won't be until after X-mas.
