Paul, I don't know what brand of 180 Gig drive you have in hand, but
Maxtor has removed their offering from circulation (we had four on
order, that were cancelled by our vendor when Maxtor blew the whistle,
apparently) because of reliability problems. I don't know if that's
related to your log files, but worth consideration, certainly.
(resolution note:) Instead, we got four of the 120G devices, and ended
up spending $600 for for 480 G instead of $500 for 320 G. I think,
doing the math, that was a net gain.
