CDC was a well known world class drive manufacture before the aquisition by Seagate, they still operated as a division for a long long time. My understanding is that this has now been totally obsorbed into the company and is no longer a seperate division. > > HAWK sounds like it should come from that division.. > > they always liked bird names.. > > (e.g the 10MB HAWK drive, the 90MB Phoenix, etc...) > > (never saw a VULTURE drive but they'd have been a good one to > > sell to government ) > > Perhaps they are desiged in Phoenix and manufactored in Singapore. > I think Quantum is moving some of it's manufactoring to Singapore. Quantum has been manufacturing off shore for some time, and with the aquisition of DEC's hard drive division a lot of drives are now coming out of the DEC Mylasia plant. > The 4GB HAWK is very similar to the 4GB Barracuda.

Hawk is a 5400RPM class drive, Barracuda is a 7200RPM class drive.

The ``runs cool'' is due to the fact that it is not a 7200RPM screamer :-), though it has data transfer rates almost as good as them. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
