I have an SH204 that is 18 mos. old and going strong.  It has never
crashed of it's own accord.  I have always had very good luck with
Atari hardware.  As with any hard-disk, you can break them really easy,
but if you don't bounce them, they seem to be pretty reliable.

I don't know anything about Supra drives, but I never heard any complaints
from the people I've known that owned them.  They "seem" (sound) like
better machinery than an SH204.
