One of the disks in my UNIX machine (not pc :-) is a 1325 and it has been
running continuosly with a RLL controller for the last 6 months without
any problem. The root filesystem is located on this disk so the disk is
used heavily. I'm using the Adaptec ACB4070 RLL controller.
I'm also using RLL on a Quantum 640 without problems.
