Thanks for the info. I am going to re-look at the IBM drives then. I have not placed the order for the Maxtor ones yet, although I may keep the Maxtor due to price difference. I think that the IBM drive on the 40GB range is about the same cost as the 60GB from Maxtor in which case I would keep the Maxtor. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
