*snort* The local WD dealer has been banging the drum about WD's "new
SCSI disks, due any day now" for the last 12 months or so.  It was
less than a month after they were introduced that they started
discounting WD's "new" PCI SCSI controllers, so I can only conclude
that WD really know their SCSI stuff.  Erk.

I take it that Seagate have axed the 2G Hawk?  That makes little/no
sense at all; current pricing around here has them at about AUD$500,
compared to the 4G Hawk and Barracuda, both at about AUD$1300.

Weird.
