Here is the interesting part. It died as I was editing a recorded television program. I was editing the program in part while trying to clear space on the drive, as it was almost full (it only had 19 or 20 gigs free out of 500)....
I read one obscure report on some website of this particular model failing when the drive neared capacity...I hadn't bothered to upgrade the firmware since the week I purchased the drive, so it may have been I was operating the whole time with buggy firmware...
Who knows?
