Have you tried the IBM drives? I know you said Seagate and Quantum, but the IBM drives seem (to me) to be, all at the same time, the cheapest, coolest, quietest, and very nearly the fastest. Check the prices, if you go to the places I go to, you're in for a shock. I am really starting to be an IBM booster (take a look at all the free source code available at their site, if you need other reasons). Times sure have changed, haven't they? They don't seem to be trying to be such open monopolists these days. > -- > Christopher Masto Senior Network Monkey NetMonger Communications > chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net > > Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message > ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | picnic.mat.net: FreeBSD/i386 (301) 220-2114 | jaunt.mat.net : FreeBSD/Alpha ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
