Werner, if you were stupid enough to put your drives in inadequate cases to
cause overheating, don't assume everyone else did the same!  I have no idea
what you have done with your drives and how you have treated them, but that does
not mean every one of them is bad.  My friend and I bought two of them and
for the past year have not had any problems whatsoever.  Sure, I had problem
with mine in the beginning since my Mac + would refuse to boot from it, but
I soon found out that was a cable problem and now the Mac + boots from it just
as any other Mac.

The drive I am selling is not a piece of hacked together hardware forced to work
with questionable software.  It is an elegant combination of drive, powerful
power supply, sufficient cooling, and of course, formatting and partitioning
software that make it all happen.

And yes, I will give a one year written warranty to the person who buys it from
me.  During this year, if anything at all goes wrong with the drive, I will
have it fixed at my own expense.

Werner, turn green with envy!!!
