Seagate build drives that last and they build economy drives. Same with Quantum. I've had low end drives from both fail in short periods of time to drives that seem to last forver > What model of the device of reserve copying well works with given OS's > (may be IDE or SCSI - based on your experience)? I've always used SCSI. As to the Seagate/Quantum, I've only used the Seagate drives that came out of the design team that used to build the CDC drives, the Elite's, Baracuddas, Cheetahs, and the Quantums that were designed by DEC, the Viking on the low end of the high-end line, and the Atlas products. Drives like the Seagate Hawks, and Quantum Fireball's, always seemed to fail prematurely, at least for me. Longest I've had a drive run was seven years two months and about 10 days. An old Maxtor, running 24x7 in a Usenet news node. [I kept it running for the last two years just to see how long it would go] Bill -- Bill Vermillion bv @ wjv.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
