You all still considered lucky...
my Maxtor 20gb hdd went on flames right infront of my eyes
I so shock I fast close the PC luckily only the hdd died
(that happened 2 years ago)
after that I didnt buy Maxtor anymore always buy WD only
the cause of the fire was the solder on the chip overheat because of excessive dust (closer inspection of the decease was the hdd was choking on dust cause i didnt clean the hdd and I open the case too)
so word of encouragement to you all is CLEAN YOUR PC FROM DUST REGULARLY
it happen to me and could happen to you.
