Hi,
I don't think it's a failure mode I've
ever seen mentioned on
the list before. I wonder it's it's one that's going to become
more and more common as the drives age, though? :-(
I've never heard of this exact problem before either, but I do recall a
similar incident back in the early days of IDE.
Conner introduced a new line of drives, which after just a few months of use
started crashing en-masse. Seems they'd painted the arms on which the heads
were mounted, and said paint was flaking off....
TTFN - Pete.
