Well I was able to save over 95% thanks to that Early warning system. I have a slightly more expensive Black WD 2 TB coming. I may have to try the Seagates again. I lost 2 of them after only a year way back, and veered away from them. Thank you much for your input. I have about 5 more WD Greens from late 2009. I am making preperations to replace them alll. Some of them are backed up. to DVD's (very time consuming) some are backed up onto HDD's but I've looked and they are mostly IDE rather than serial. Old stuff so fast.
