When people vouch for their favourite drives I would like them to also give an estimate of how many drives they are basing their opinions on. For example, I've got 3 IBM SCSI disks. Love them. Quiet, low heat, fairly fast. I've got some really old Seagates. Love them (well, they used to be fast for their day). I've got some not-quite-so-old Seagates. Hate them. Noisy, hot. But the point is that this is only 10 drives total that I'm basing all this on. (This isn't counting a fair collection of really, really old hardware thrown at me instead of the bin). So, how many drives have you watched live and die? Stephen. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
