OK, I'm sorry for changing the subject but I have had good results with 18 and 
36 GB IBM SCSI
drives.

What do you use?



Fujitsu is nice, Seagate is better. WD and Maxtor make poor doorstops as 
they are too light, but they make a funny plunk sound when they hit water.


But it's the model of the drive and it's intended purpose that matters, 
not so much the label. Every manufacturer makes consumer grade equipment.

Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.

I generally use Seagate.  Used to use IBM/Hitachi and Fujitsu.  Still 
would if they were easier to find in stock around here.  Have used 
Quantums, and long long ago Micropolis.  Both should be avoided...


Found a pile of new 4 gig SCSI disks on ebay, and have been using those 
for linux system disks for the last couple years.  They're SCSI 2, great 
for booting from, they last forever...  Ah, remember the good old days 
when you could buy a disk that was the right size for the job, not 1400x 
bigger than what you need...
