Title: Short lifetime, but at least a graceful failure
Review: On the plus side, it worked for a while. The drive never stops spinning, which is mildly annoying and probably wastes electricity and shortens the life.I used it for six months to store and edit home movies. Then, I didn't touch it much for another six months. Twelve months after purchase, I noticed that some files took a LONG LONG time to retrieve, three minutes instead of three seconds.Running dirchk -f improved the performance, although it takes about a full day. Lots of failed sectors repaired. Performance improves but then goes downhill again.I'm just past the warranty and can't get a replacement. Sigh.But, at least my data isn't LOST. It's just hard to get. I will probably retire it when I get a new drive.
