Hi:

I've just had another hdd go bad on my Myth backend.  Maybe it is the 
enclosures I've used but this has been a regular occurrence.  Thus 
the following article caught my eye:

Western Digital is apparently positioning these drives between 
desktop and server in terms of features and price.  Low power 
consumption and rated for full 24/7 operation seem very attractive 
for use as a Myth recordings drive.  The relatively modest 
performance doesn't sound like much of a penalty.

What say you?

Craig
