A bad luck story that turned out great...

Last week we had a bad storm pass over, we lost power for 4 hours but the bad part was the power started surging. It took out my UPS and zapped one of hard drives in my TiVo. It was a 2tb WD AVGP that was 3 weeks out of warranty so I hit eBay and found a person selling 2 2tb WD AVGP drives for 40 bucks each. I grabbed one up and it got here today in a factory static bag. I removed it from the static bag hooked it up to my PC and ran"Hard Disk Sentinel" with will give you the hours the drive has run so far and how much life is left any errors the smart map etc... I was shocked to see the drive only had 4 hours of running time with no errors a perfect drive. I fixed my UPS for under 5 bucks so 50 dollars for a new 2tb HDD and a working UPS... I think I might go buy a mega millions ticket today.
