Wow!  If it's '15_ns_ I'm very impressed!  Indeed!  (J/K) I know you
meant 15_ms_....

Anyway, sorry to spoil your day but 15ms ain't that fast these days.
I own a Quantum 180 with access time of 11ms.  I've only seen/heard of
one drive faster than mine...and it cost about $1K more!

Also, it's a shame your drive crashes that often.  I've had a couple
(say, three) crashes in the last two years and saved all my data from
all three of them (very lucky, I realize) but my point is that it
really sucks to have your drive go down.  I cannot begin to understand
how you can handle two crashes ("on a good day")!!  Enjoy...
