About this blog: Computers hate me. They really do. Every time I try to do something unusual like add new hardware, something is guaranteed to go wrong. I decided to start writing about my constant problems so that someone else might benefit from my experiences - or at least laugh at them!

My pride and joy (well, it was expensive anyway) has failed with a read error and a couple of uncorrectable sectors. I've just received the replacement, which to my pleasant surprise is brand new, and a more recent version that is backplane compatible (see this post). It is also showing a full 5 year warranty, even though I purchased the original drive a year ago. Bonus!
