I have yet to have a failed IBM drive.. I have 2 IBM 40gigs and 1 IBM 60gig drive and all of them run 24/7 with no issues..
All are around 1-1.5 years old. so maybe I got lucky and got them before they started going bad.. I've heard bad stories... As for Seagate.. I have one 7 month old 40gig that thus far has caused no problems.. I have only good things to say until such time that a drive fails ... :-) touch wood that I only ever say good things.. rgds Franki -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Todd Lyons Sent: Wednesday, 18 December 2002 3:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Western digital drives don't work?/maximum capacity -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Tom Brinkman wrote on Mon, Dec 16, 2002 at 10:29:15PM +0000 : > > Bottom line is hardware is a moving target, always has been. > Unfortunately, specially with other than with M$, it's a downhill > slide towards Junkyard Wars. Maxtor seems to be the safest bet right What is amazing to me is that nobody has had anything to say (positive or negative) about: 1) IBM drives 2) Seagate drives I have my own personal experiences with them, but am curious what others have seen.
