I have experience with ONE Fujitsu IDE drive, an old 2G with no cache (that's right, none). It did creditable service, but .... every time there was a power failure and I was not there to shut down before the UPS ran down, it was a full rebuild job with significant lost data. Naturally I swapped it out for something that could take a beating at first opportunity. Also, as soon as I have the financial commitment (December, I hope), I will be trashing the "server which is built from scraps" and put in a decent UPS that I can link to for auto shutdowns. By then I will have it linked to the phone system to notify a few people intervention is required to get running again (we use it for incoming mail as the POP server).
Anyway, other than the tendency to collapse with every little power outage, I know nothing negative about Fujitsu drives. Of course that is enough to keep it off my server.

know when I built my machine I was only interested in getting parts that
would definately work with Linux. OF course although all the parts might be
Limux compatible some pieces of hardware don't seem to work together. That
kind of information - known hardware incompatibilities (Soundcard X won't
work with Motherboard Y), in a searchable database would be useful. Just
$0.02 - actually I'm Australian so guess I have to round that up to $0.05.Somewhere earlier in this thread someone said they didn't like Fujitsu hard
drives. Any particular reason - it's just that I use them (without problems
so far) - so if they spontaneously combust or something like that, I'd like
to know before it actually happens;-)Aaron
