The Precision was still under an Extended Warranty and DELL Replaced it 
with a Western Digital SATA Drive of the same capacity (WD1600JS)... 
Initial results from SMART Monitoring show the WD Unit is much better 
behaved than the Seagate, although there is a Firmware Bug leading to 
Incorrect Temperatures (Values are much too high) ...  Additionally NO Bad 
Sector were found during a Destructive Read/Write BADBLOCKS Scan prior to 
the Cloning Operation...
