I've installedlots of differenet drive/controller/cpu
cofigurations. and as far as I can tell, You never can tell
what a drives going to do whenn.  I think the main thing is to be
sure the drive is warranteed, and to check it thoughroly upon receipt,
and periodicaly there after,, and keep backups of your datafiles.

I still believe that seagae is one of the best things going,
though I am not afraid to use a newer companys drive, as
the failure rates seem equally intermitant.

Hope this helps some people.
