I've worked with Sun workstations and servers (lots of them) for the past 18 years and my experience has been the exact opposite. The Seagate drives in them have been reliable. That's not to say I have not had failures, but those have been few and far between. I pick Seagate drives when I have the option. Western Digital drives, on the other hand, have given me lots more trouble. Whenever I can, I stay away from them. YMMV. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
