Sorry if I wasnt clear. I said one drive, in my experience, would not last 4 years. For example, I have a drive from a Umax C600 which is now dead, as well as an identical drive out of a PC that is dead. Also, one of my 6GB Apple branded drives, out of a beige g3, is really unusable though I think a reformat might save it. My other Apple branded 6GB is working good so far. I also have a "refurbished" IBM 40GB DeskStar that didnt last me more than a month. I do believe some of those drives may have been unreliable models. But please tell which drives are reliable. I wouldnt mind ATA so much if I had a better success rate. Thanks Chris P -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
