Nope, but for a Workstation they are screamers. For small servers they
are OK too, especially now with DMA support.
You can actually build a 28G fileserver with 4 of the new Maxtor 7G
drives for less than US$ 1800 for the drives. Add a decent mother
board and a netcard and you have a very nice ftp/web/whatever server
for less that US$ 3000. Beat that!
