Never had one fail. I used to use Lacie Tsunami drives They never failed either. I used to optimize them with Norton now I use Tech tools pro 4 An optimized drive is a happy drive. I'd like to optimize my BRAIN!! I'd be a happy guy! Give me one contiguous blank space any day. And a fresh directory. Rebuilt from scratch! And optimized. That's the ticket! Fragmentation is EVIL!
