   I am posting this message for a friend of mine, please reply
to me for him...

I am interested in buying a 40 meg mfm hard drive and am considering the 
seagate 251-1.  I have no information on the reliability of this drive
or any other comparable drive except through a couple of friends'
experiences.  If anybody has seen a rating from some publication
of hard drive failure rates or can speak from personal experience, 
please reply.  ---Greg
