I'm considering getting the 5GB internal EIDE version, if anyone knows any problems with that particular drive I'd like to know. I'm assuming the wst(4) driver should support it. (On a 3.1-STABLE system, btw.) If these drives are particularly bad, does anyone know of any good [E]IDE devices? I'm sure SCSI drives are better, but other than performance, in what ways are SCSI ones better? Backup speed doesn't really bother me that much.
