We've changed suppliers 2 times. The first suppler had a "decent" round of drives . 20 percent of the drives we bought (we would buy, up to 10 at a time) would be bad. We decided to switch suppliers because it took, too long to get replacement drives in. Now, our new "Supplier" .. it's a different story. 50 percent DDFR (Disk Drive Failure Rate) . 6 of the same Seagate 180GB Ultra320 drives. 3 of those were bad. Seems we had better luck with the 70G drives, AND the original supplier. > > I've done well with the Maxtor (used to be Quantum) Atlas 10k3 and 15k > > drives for both SCSI and FC. > >Every vendor tends to produces batches of trash ever so often.
