Maybe Fujitsu has changed as well. Western Digitals used to be horrible back in 1994-1998 when I had two disks die on me, shortly after having been bought. Three of the major resellers here in Patras, recommended that I avoid Western Digitals because they had started getting tired of returning disks. I bought a few Quantum disks since then, but I now have no problems with my 45 GB WD450AA-00BAA0 drive. It has worked flawlessly for more than the 3 year warranty period, and has never, not once, given me any sort of problems :) - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
