I have hundreds of disks in use, about half ide/sata and half scsi, and the vast mojority of them seagate. i lose about 2 disks a year. this year it was a 18G SCA (quantum btw) and a 14G IDE - IBM. for new machines i insist on seagate disks whereever possible, when i order disks seperately i order seagate or SSDs. i have not lost a single seagate sata drive yet. in short, i disagree with your seagate judgement. but then i also skip the cheap ones. oh, samsung: 9, not a single one in use, 2 suspect defective. WD: just 6, only 3 in use, one of them defective. and for comedy: there is just two vendors (according to the vendor strings, there might be relabeling) i only have a single disk from. and they are alive. these babies: CONNER CFP2105E 2.14GB 1524 DEC RZ26N (C) DEC 0466 -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting
