I, too, have been using these for some years, and
I like them very much. The one problem I did have
on an older machine was that the boot sometimes
did not work or was slow; it improved if I used the
same size hard drives, so I suspect that the auto-
detect in the BIOS was bothered some.
When I upgraded to my latest mb and cpu (ASUS
and 667), the problem went away and now there
are no hitches.

is engaged in the caddy?
