Ugh.  The Bigfoots are _crap_.  Or, more to the point, they're
designed for the low end of the Windows market.

If you want a 6G disk, look at the new high-end IDE quantums, or the
6G Seagate.  You may even find that buying two 3G disks is close to
cost-effective, in which case the IBM DAQA-33240 is an excellent deal.
