I note you have Quantum Fireballs. Suggestion. Before making another
fs to replace the trashed one, mount your disk(s) in their final
position, let them get up to their final temperature, then low-level
format them. The quantums seem to be very sensitive to temperature
and run out of blocks for internal bad-block replacement unless you
format them at their nominal operating temperature. I use them here
and needed to do this to make them reliable.
