Sometimes you need to get the same make and model of drive when you go to a second drive, because of conflicts. It's one of those PC non-standards where everyone figures it out by trying things until it works. Could of people I know have been burned that way... they went to get a second drive and had to hunt around for the same make and model. If it's not being made any more that can be a burn.
