I've been using the 80Gb Western Digital drive you mentioned for at least 8 months, if not more and have had no problems with it. In my experience WD Cavair are reliable drives that do what they say on the tin basically.

I'm tempted by Western Digital (WD800JB - 80Gb, 8Mb buffer, 7200rpm) who I've alway found reliable, and by the Seagate iv series - Main apps are audio processing (audacity) and simple office stuff, odd bit of html and Delphi. Any info / experience would be welcome before I part with my hard-earned cash! regards, Neil. _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
