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. --Simon On Fri, 10 Oct 1997, Bruce Perens wrote: > Although I don't have a 4GB one, I have had good luck with the smaller Quantum > Fireball IDE drives.
