Grimes stands accused of saying: > > So Western Digital is going to try the SCSI stuff again.. this will be > the third time WD has ``introduced'' SCSI product... wonder how long > they will last this time :-) *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.

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.
