Well, I've owned two segate drives, one st225 on my XT clone, and that
thing has been dropped, turned on its side while running, run on an angle
and had just about everything else done to it (never spiled anything on it...)
and now I own a ST277n on my Mac in a Tulin Chassis, and it's been bumped once
or twice (rather hard...) it's also stood up to my poking, proding, offencive
soldering iron gestures, etc etc, and it's stood up to it all.

I know people who don't like them, but for what I've put the st255 (damn, I 
think that's the number, anyhow it's a 20 meg XT drive) through you just
can't get any more reliable or tolerant.

If anyone has any horror stories, drop me a line.

Mark.
