Hi!,

 I'm looking for a IDE disk for a FreeBSD workstation (there won't be any heavy
loads on it) and performance is not critical) and came across these IBM drives.

IBM DHEA-34330 Ultra ATA and 
IBM DCAA34300 (http://www.storage.ibm.com/storage/oem/data/desk4.htm)

Specs seems OK.

Heard may good things about IBM SCSI drives.

 Does any one have any experience with the above drives (with FreeBSD)? (seems
lost in this SCSI world :-))

If the above drives are BAD, recommendations for any good IDE drives will be
much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ajith.
