Re: How do you add another hard drive?

To be honest, I've never been a big fan of Seagate drives. Over the years
the only ones I have never tried are Samsung - I've had Maxtor, Seagate,
Hitachi and Western Digital.

In recent years the Seagate and Maxtor drives have fallen over most readily,
while the Hitachi and WD units have stood up to the task. Of course having
now written this...

On a related note, when a drive is failing and goes into "limp home" mode -
i.e. max sustained transfer is 2MB/sec - what's the official name for that
condition? (assuming there is one)

Best,
