And I had one I had to run for six hours before it would read data.
You remember the noise 5.25 floppies made? I had a hard drive do that...and would still boot!
The one that went "ka...ka...kakakakakakakaka" followed by the sound and vibration of scrap metal in a washing machine before it did the "clank"-silence thing...that one, I'm glad to say had noting that wasn't already backed up on it.
