Check this out,
We had issues out of the box with the factory hd that came with the machine. Alot of times it wouldn't mount up the first go or it would read "check jumper". This we did and put it in the right spot. We had not bought a new hd for it yet because $ was tight
Anyway, a few weeks ago we set up 2 mics to record a new song we had writen for our personal band. Machine was in the same room along with everything else. Got our signal up and comfortable then we pressed record didn't even play any notes. machine read "write timeout" after about 10 seconds. It did this three times then I dismounted the hd and put it in the other drive slot mounted up and read "Incorrect format", "press Y/N to format drive". We had tried this before and the same thing happened minus the bad format issue. I tried everything I could think of for about 3 days before I called alesis.
THE BAD PART WAS I HAD ABOUT 11 HARDDRIVE HOURS OF OUR STUFF PLUS 2 OTHER BANDS STUFF ON IT. The only thing that rectified the issue in some regard was we already had about 3 mixes of all the songs with very minor issues to work out so all was not lost, but it was in one way or the other.

" Sounds like a bad hd", yawn sniffle, " you should have been backing up your work". "have you updated the firmware". Hmmm go figure, ran software reset.
Basically we ended up screwed.
