A few bad experiences in the past. I don't put much faith in Seagate drives either, but at least one of my Seagate drives has been good since I got it (and didn't fail every three mounths) Thankfully, dieman hasn't had any issues with the same drive in his machine, so it was probally my computer that was causing issues with the drive. Haven't really had any issues with my Maxtor drive. We did have an issue with the maxtor drive we were going to put in destiny.ringworld.org, but it was a really fscking bad drive. A semi-quick RMA took care of it (and got us a slightly bigger drive to boot) and we haven't had any issues with the drive running 24/7 since. I've had Zero issues with my IBM SCSI drives, nice fast and reliable. =) -- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX:132) LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (FAX) 763-428-9126 21801 Industrial Blvd | (PCS) 612-306-6055 Rogers, MN 55374 | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com -------------- next part -------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
