I ran a four hour diagnostic on the drive, no errors whatsoever. I'm giving it back to her today, seems to run pretty decent for the age, and I will be going over how to defrag, how to dump temp internet files, etc....
I've got a 3.something gig bigfoot I'm running on a comp right now,
because I ran out of other drives to use for crunching folding.
It's slower that a pregnant dog, but no bad sectors, and it's still pluggin' along.
