Cannot say the same about reliability, since last year we had about 10-15 units die within a few months (all replaced under warranty, and havent' crashed again since then). Also in my experience, maxtors are aslow (about 3MB/s) and I am interested in this thread on the QUANTUM FIREBALL since i am (was, given the poor results ?) thinking of buying one... cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
