I leaning toward IBM. Any opinion on following: DDRS39130W, DGUS39100W, IDRVS9U2, IBM39130U2, IDGHS09U2? Perhaps some are actually the same drives with different vendor ids. Basically they are 9GB u*w drives. -- Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
