I have had bad and good luck with conner IDE, actually; a CFA series 528MB
drive that's 3yr old and still going strong, but a CFS series (slower,
cheaper) 850 that died after about a year.
RPI ACM (not speaking for them) has had a relatively recent (18mo old?)
Conner 2GB SCSI drive have problems that were fixed (i think) by
exchanging it for a new drive. (either that or a format; i know it was getting
errors and a new one came back a good while later w/o errors)
Seagates tend to least a year or two than fail, from my experience.
