I recently had a somewhat disturbing experience with my Mirror Magnet 40X
hard disk and the ensuing attempts to get it fixed by Mirror Technologies.
I would be very interested in hearing from any Mirror owners out there. 

The particular incident involved a crash of the HD, which could not be
reformatted with the factory-supplied formatting software. I kept getting
error messages like "erase operation failed" and "check your cables." I got
identical results when I tried the operation on a new SE with a new cable.
Mirror, however, kept the device for almost two weeks, and claimed they could
not find anything wrong with it. They are returning it to me, apparently with
nothing done to it. I'm open to comments, opinions, etc.
