Also, don't tighten the screws into the drive too hard, I've seen many Quantum drives that were "repaired" by simply loosening the screws. Seems that it's not too tough to warp the drive enough to cause problems. (No, the screws weren't contacting the PC board) All in all, the Quantums are good, reliable drives, just a bit touchy. One of my FreeBSD machines (a PPro 200) has a Quantum 3.8G, and it gets the best performance marks of the ones I've played with (mostly Western Dig.) -Mark Holden
