I can't speak specifically to Viking II's, but I can tell you that Quantum is permanently off our purchase list. We've had nearly 100% failure rates on them, only Micropolis was worse. Our favorites are IBM, then Seagate. It's astounding how cool the IBM drives run, the Quantums nearly burn your hand while the IBMs are barely above room temp.
