We've had horrible luck with IDE drives at Timing Solutions. We're redoing all of our embedded systems to use CF parts. They wear out much more slowly than IDE drives and tolerate some of the more "demanding" environments that we deploy in. Besides, it is a huge waste to deploy a 5G drive when you are using only 32M of it :-) I personally have found that IDE drives tend to fail more often than the SCSI drives I ahve. However, part of that is that I spend $$$ for SCSI, and I am loathe to give up and $$$ for IDE drives. So it is a self selecting quality issue here. :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
