So, what are the chances that two different sata drives, same
manufacturer (wd), that were purchased at different times, would fail at
exactly the same time?
Is it possible for a drive failure to cause another to fail? I'm
grasping, but I just can see this happening.
They were connected to an interface card, so I removed it and connected
them to the onboard interface, no go. both drives appear to exhibit low
clicking sounds.
This pretty much sucks.
This system sits behind a decent ups/surge protector, no problems with
any other hardware and no recent electrical issues known.
