I went through this same loop last summer with my own SE/30 with a Sony drive. I had to do some research on behalf of my qualified Apple dealer, natch, but got a free replacement. Now he sounds most knowledgeable, as I discovered when I phoned him last week in relation to the firm's machine, until I got to the word "Quantum", whereapon: problem not known. I thought the Quantum problem was more widely known, but strangely, nobody has (yet) confirmed it in response to my query last week.
