Who else makes SCSI drives that a reliable like Quantum? I only have a Quantum 40 Meg in my 3000, so I can't advise you on the quality of other drives, but if you're willing to spend about $500, you should be able to buy either Connor or Quantum 100 Meg hard drives in that price range. The Connor drives tend to be about 5-15% cheaper than the Quantum's. The reliability should be similar, but the seek and access times tend to be a little better for the Quantum. Since I indirectly own some Quantum stock, I'd recommend paying the premium, and get the (faster) Quantum drive. -- bruce@zuhause.mn.org
