It was only about 6 months old when it went belly up. They had to replace it 4 (yes that is really four) times before they got one that worked. I forget what the original one was, but it was replaced with an Atlas and a Grand Prix. Neither of those performed worth a damn. They finally replaced it with a Capella (which I had to return later to get a firmware upgrade) and that is still running OK.
