> > > So Rodney, which 4 GB Drive would you buy? None, I use stacks of 535MB drives for what ever capacity I need (easy to do when you buy them in the 10 paks and use NCR controllers and have unlimited space for them (I don't use cases, it's all on table tops :-)). So, 4GB would be 8 drives, and 2 or 4 controllers. Let me see, 8 * 195 + 2 * 72 == 1704 for a subsystem that can produce over 32MB/s of read data :-). Oh, and my distributor just called me, I have new pricing on Micropolis 3243 and 3243W drives, $1200 and $1287. I also now have avaliable to me 60 units of Quantum Capella 2.2 G Wide drives at $830 each. Price on non wide Capella is still sitting at $800.00. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
