Indeed, I had a 1.6GB one die on me. I had some "errors" and it started making clunking noises. A few hours later, it was dead. Luckily, I've got good backups here. I did have to wait for a month to get the replacement drive from my dealer though. There's a notice on their web site about quality problems with one of their 1.6GB models (I'm not sure if it was the same as mine). I'm unsure as to whether this extends to the rest of their line. Cheers, - Jim
