i was really worried about drive failure and fortunately i think i dodged that bullet

This a rare early VA-0 model, for those who don't know the early VA-0 had a steel encased fan and drive all of which manufactured with very high quality in Japan. The more common VA-1 models converted this steel to plastic and had a cheaper Chinese laser drive instead. In my opinion these rarer first edition models are the best. They've shown more durability, weigh more and were manufactured with much higher quality.

Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up
