[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1878801, member: 83420"] I'm not saying this is the final answer; but when I get a new EHD (Spinner or SSD), the first thing I do is open Disk Utility (DU) and completely erase anything that came with that EHD. Then I format it appropriately and connect it to my iMac. The EHDs remain dormant until I need them. Did you do that or did you use the EHDs out of the box? Ian [/QUOTE]
