Hi Mike! On 15 Mar 02 at 1:39 you wrote: > 3) If SCSI can't work with IDE, or if SCSI just isn't worth it, what > IDE drives should I consider? Again, under $200. In my experience, IDE tape drives suck. You should try getting SCSI. I don't see why SCSI controller should have any problems working in a machine which also has IDE. As to recommending specific drives, I can only say that I have HP SureStore DDS-3 drive which is ca 3 years old and works fine in my FreeBSD machine, backing up ca 10 GB every weeknight. It can back up 20 GB uncompressed, somewhat more when using hardware compression. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Avoid those abysmally horrible, outrageously repellent exaggerations.
