Predate it by like a *decade*.
I know right? I'm amazed they still work!
Ahh, young'ns. ;) You're accustomed to brand-new drives dying in a
year or two. That's a relatively recent thing, designed to drive sales
figures. Nowadays society is well-trained, due to its short memory, to
happily accept that a one-year-old hard drive is "old", a five-year-old
car is "old", etc etc. It's bullshit.
I am bothered by having been conditioned by this. ;)
I have several 5+ year old drives that still work though...however newer ones have died in
a year. It makes me hesitant to buy drives. ;)
We need to find you some recent drives somewhere.
Yeah but will you be able to find 2 18G ones? ;)
Maybe. You can ask around a bit too, you know. ;) Try the sunhelp
list as I suggested awhile back.
I'll probably try that when I get back home.
