This is unacceptable - and I'm still fuming, but feel compelled to say something now - even before MP has responded, though it's been several days since I contacted them about this order.

I ordered 7 XRAID 500GB drives with sleds; 6 that came were the original Hitatchi Deskstar brand w/ the Apple brand on the sticker; the other was a WD AVJB 500 gig.

Problem is, RAID Admin see the 6 Hitachi drives as being from an old array, and reports individual use on all 6 as 33,640 +/- hours!!!!

What a TOTAL SHAM! That's a hard drive with 3.8 years worth of power on time. That's SIX hard drives sold to me as new...I'll amend this review if I get contacted by them.
