I have SCSI drives that are four years old and still going strong. SATA, IMHO, is a nice fast drive for gamers. You can go to Frys and get a speedy drive for little money. I do not trust them for mission critical data. As they gain market share that may change. For now I've changed far too many, I have a pop toaster down currently awaiting it's second SATA drive in 16 months. (Professional NOC, Temp, vibration, power all conditioned, this was a Seagate drive). Just my experience, not looking for agreement or argument. DAve -- Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos for other non-international holidays, but nothing for Veterans? Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
