I always thought CDC made the best drives on the market myself.  We've
always been pleased with the models installed on our Prime minicomputer.

But then we bought two Zenith 248/12 AT machines last year with 40 MB
CDC 94205-51 half-height drives.  One arrived DOA (Can you hear the
ping pong ball bouncing?), and the other died yesterday after eight months
of service.

True, the Law of Small Samples takes effect here, but oh for two isn't the
world's best batting average.  Sure hope CDC isn't experiencing the
"Seagate syndrome!"
