Oh, well, I guess that's me. Yeah. Well, I have had a 9380S for about 30 day
s now. No problems to report except that I'm pissed off that even 380 MBytes
fills up too bloody fast :-(. The only thing I uld mention is a totally
subjective FEELING about the drive. It's not very fast. Mind you, the specs
say it is 16ms and when I ran SCSI Evaluator on it, it said "Sure enough,
this sucker is a 16ms drive." but it doesn't FEEL as fast as my old 18ms
160 Mbyte drive that I traded up from. However, the specs do not lie, it is
a 16ms drive, it just feels to me more like a 40ms. Other than that, though,
I have enjoye
