I posted an article on this, but I'll briefly state what I have.  I am using
a WD1003-RA2 (26 sec/trk) with 2 ST-251s.  I run SCO Xenix 2.2.1 exclusively
on an AT clone.  I have been up for 19 hrs now (since the final installation
of everything and no thanks to a power hit) with no problems.  If I have
problems I'll be sure and post.  I like going for maximum uptime.  The drives
are fantastic (last summer jclyde was up for 60+ days under 2.1.3).
