It's too bad the second one I tried to endurance test died -- it was plugging along, full steam ahead, and one day it didn't survive a system power cycle. It powers on, and I was able to update the FW, but it is otherwise trashed.

Of course, like a moron, I shorted the first one out a few days in.
