The drives has problems at boot up. Half the time they would just freeze at
post up. Other times the machine would report no drive present. The only way
to use them was to keep the machine on 24/7 and hope you didn't have to 
re-boot.

And yes, it happened on more than one machine. At work we saw lot's of
problems with the CFA1080A They were used as O.E.M. drives for Packard
Bell computers. The horror stories the poor Packard Bell customers use to 
have.
No wonder there was a class action made against that company.

Knock on wood, my 2 drives became door stops after about a year of 
frustration.
