They are one month old Maxtor 160GB drives, under full warrenty. One died with loud clicking sounds, the other I have no idea -- the RAID reported a drive failure, but I haven't had a chance to physically inspect the drive. The vender suspect damage during shipping. >How do they charge you?

The actual logistics of billing are informal -- I basically make sure bandwidth costs are covered, rather than going through a more formal process. I think Mail-Archive averages just under half a megabit per second, but we'll see. >BTW, in your FAQ question, "Why are you using this engineering design?" >You left another alternative approach I will update the FAQ when I get a chance.
