Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware Subject: MiniScribe 8450 drives Message-ID: <5561@uceng.UC.EDU> Date: 20 Jul 90 21:37:24 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: Univ. of Cincinnati, College of Engg. Lines: 16 I am considering buying a Miniscribe 8450 drive and controller from Hard Drives Intl. out of _Computer Shopper_. I ahve heard that Miniscribe drives are not really reliable. A friend say they run kind of hot, and end up wearing out early. Can anyone verify this or tell me of any problems with the drives. Or, If you have one and have had no problems, let me know. Thanks, Steve skohls@uceng.uc.edu -- Steve Kohls skohls@uceng.uc.edu University of Cincinnati (513) 232-9813
