I don't know--I've never had an in-service drive fail while still under warranty :-) I did have a DOA replaced once, but I doubt that reflects the hoops you might have to jump through. Maybe just send them the smartctl report? As a hobbyist and small businessman, I only run my own servers. I don't handle the volume of drives necessary to personally know the RMA departments. Others around here probably do. >> Interesting. This drive claims to support SCTERC. I was under the >> impression the EARS drives didn't.

The summary report says it *does* support SCTERC, but when actually probed, it refuses. That's just evil. Thanks for running the query. Regards, Phil
