To: hardware@FreeBSD.org Date: Mon, 29 May 1995 11:44:51 +0200 (MSZ) Reply-To: me@FreeBSD.org (Michael Elbel) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL21] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Length: 1173 Sender: hardware-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk With people reporting problems with the Quantum Grand Prix drives and me having very good experiences with the Empire series - does anybody have experience with the 4.3 GB Quantum Atlas drives? I'm about to spec a system here and was wondering. It seems that the Atlas cost about the same as the 4.3 GB Barracudas, so, any comparison to those? Also, has anybody had experience with the 4-16 GB HP C1533A DDS drives? I've seen Rod recommend the ARCHIVE Pythons but it looks like those aren't that easily available in Germany. If anybody would like to comment, this is what I've got so far: MB: ASUS PCI/I-P54TP4 Pentium 90 32 MB RAM Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller Quantum Atlas 4 GB Disk Toshiba XM3601B CDROM (I know it's caddyless, but I like those) ARCHIVE Python DDS-2/DC DAT-Drive or HP C1533A DAT-Drive SMC EtherPower PCI (That's the one with the Digital chip, right?) V7 Mirage P64 PCI w/ 2 MB ram Monitor Sony GDM 17se (17", 82 kHz) The machine is mainly supposed to be used as development system, later it should become a communications and file server.
