YOu can't go wrong with Western Digital. I've been banging away on my Western Digital Caviar 1.08 GB for several years now, and it hasn't complained or done anything weird even once. My roommate just installed their 2.1 GB drive, and my friend has been running their 3.6 drive heavily for about 6 months now, and all reports are A-OK. I'm very impressed with their drives, they run fast, they run pretty cool, and they even sound neat (the 2.1 and 3.6 drives are REALLY QUIET, which is nice when you sleep in the same room as your machine like my roommate does :) ). These are the drives I put into the FreeBSD boxes I build for clients who don't want SCSI. - --- Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
