Thomas, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles with IBM. Personally, I prefer their drives to anything else out there, bar none. However, if you are not using IBM, you might want to consider Seagate or Western Digital. There was a rumour circulating a while back about Western Digital leaving the consumer grade drive market, concentrating on production only for their OEM customers. I personally use Western Digital and Seagate for IDE, and inherited Seagate and Conner (talk about longevity!) SCSI drives. The ones that I purchase anymore are IBM for either interface. --- Andy -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Lau To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2001 6:42 AM Subject: Western Digital or IBM of Hard Disk are better? well, I hear that WD of 5400RPM HD speed near 7200RPM, is it ture? and my 34.2GB IBM HD was dead, I will not trust IBM anymore because have problem 3times ago I want to use IDE. not SCSI! please make some suggestion, and please leave out your suggested HD of model type, so it can help me to search about it, Thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
