Micropolis is history? GOOD! Some of the worst drives on the face of the
earth came from them.
Personally, I would *highly* recommend Quantum (server-class) scsi drives,
such as the Viking II or Atlas drives. Very nice, stable, reliable.
If you need good prices on these, try www.accubyte.com. They're about
two blocks from my house, so I do quite a bit of business with them...
best prices I've seen yet.
