After a lot of trouble with one of the Maxtor hard drives in my RAID array I decided it was better to get a new hard drive. I was really getting annoyed with all the failed RAID array verifications. This time I made sure it was an enterprise class hard drive. Maxtor is of course out of the picture; their quality is just not good enough. Three disk failures in the last two years confirm this.
The new member of the family is a Western Digital 5000ABYS 500GB hard drive. I just got it today, but will it fit? 
that.You probably are using Vista SP1, for which I had to wait a long time.The look-n-feel excrpienee will wear off soon, when you’d have faced couple of crashes.
