I think the problem was with the 1.5Tb drives. Howsomever, it was only 
in fairly rare circumstances - only in RAID arrays and other external 
multiple storage devices and never under Windoze. Something about sleep 
timing and OS timing getting their fingers crossed. I was aware of the 
details before I bought mine and it has been flawless so far.

Just got an email from TigerD offering a $10 rebate on the 1Tb Hitachi.
