My four week old upgrade 5xxx upgrade with the WD 200GB 7200/8MB cache just went awry last night. The video from the RTV suddenly froze, and the audio went into an infinite repeating stutter. Tried a soft reboot, and got stuck at the "Please Wait..." screen (no green flashes, just the plain screen). Tried cold rebooting, including removing the ethernet line, but no luck. Have the drive at work today to look at it on a PC (have a Mac at home). I assume I'll just have to re-image, but will lose about 30 hours of shows. Plan to try extract_rtv to save these, so wish me luck.
BTW, this drive is still on sale at BestBuy for $180 after rebate and the box includes an ATA100 interface card that (obviously) supports >137 GB drives.
