Hello Graham, 
   The early Ste's are all covered on a case to case basis..
Your supposed to call atari if you find out your STe doesnt work with a hard 
drive for some reason. (Yes, atari USA did say there was a problem but all 
current STe's should be working just fine. The problem was NOT with JUST the 
third party drives although they seemed more apt to mess up.)
I would suggest making sure your hard drive is very backed up...
My bosses computer didnt start trashing files until about a week after he had 
the computer. He swapped it and it has worked every since.
(Atari USA's customer service told me the above policy. I decided to wait 
until later. Glad I did. I am gonna try getting a new machine pretty soon)
