After a highly implausible RAID1 (mirror) stripe failure on Thursday, I have been mostly blasted off the net. Both disks failed within minutes of each other, with physical defects in similar areas of the disk. 10 out of 10 for consistency for Samsung (they made these disks), they were same make, same model, same batch and consecutive serial numbers

I've been having online issues too, following last Saturday's motherboard-barf. And I too have seen a performance increase: largely because of buying a quad-core 2.4GHz motherboard to replace a 666MHz Pentium.

It still needs tweaking: DVD performance is worse, because of the different graphics processor. But I'm working on it.

There has definitely been a LOT of sudden hardware failures going on. It goes way past the point of statistical plausibility. Something is up, I'm just not sure what.

You know what you said the other day about eating fail and sh*tting out win? :P ;)

Hell yeah. :)
