Have you had an HD-200 or HD-300 die on you?

It is well known that there was a problem with HD-100s (I think it was with the power supply), but how reliable are the HD-200s and HD-300s? This is a crucial question for many of us that will determine how long we continue to use Sage. I have had 5 HD-200s, the oldest 3 since they were initially released in December of 2008.

I have no problems with my HD-200 or HD-300 extenders. I sold my two HD-100's on eBay years ago. They also had no problems (at the time).

I am having an issue with one of my HD-200's right now. I get a micro stutter when watching video every 30 seconds or so. I haven't figured out if it is a network issue (what I suspect) or a HD-200 going bad.

I've had a power brick fail on an HD200 (lightning strike nearby), but that was easy to replace and one of my HD300's internal IR does not work (the external IR plug in works fine though).

I had a power brick for an HD200 pack in on me last week.

Luckily I had a spare 12v 2a power supply I aquired a couple of years ago just in case this ever happened.

I've had an HD200 for getting on for 2 years. It occasionally refuses to boot the mini-client, either hanging at the Blue "SageTV" opening screen or it passes that screen & then goes blank, not loading the GUI. Most times just restarting the HD200 works. Other times a cold reboot, power recycle, is needed.
