For the moment we have chosen > IBM Ericsson. Catchin up with my lists... Take a look at storagereview.com I look at this site at least 3 to 4 times a week. Lots of info about HDs including reliability, performance and recently even reviews on noise. In particular try and read the forums regularly. As for those asking why SCSI disks are better it is usually because components and manufacturing of SCSI drives is better. SCSI drives are usually so much better than SCSI that almost 3 years ago I bought some used SCSI drives for $75 and those drives have survived longer than several brand new IDEs (IBM and Quantum). My only two issues with SCSI are the price and the noise. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
