You sure don't wanna use one in a news server :) For a desktop or low to
medium traffic server (office duty and/or not too busy web and mail server)
an IDE should be fine. I just installed the 7200RPM IBM 10.1GB drive in a
customer's machine so I can't guess on how well it's gonna hold up but I've
abused IBM drives in the past. This one set up quickly under 3.1-RELEASE
from the CD's.
Vince.
