[Sean T. Lamont]

|   I would like to chime in here and say that we've lost 2 Quantums (possibly
|   3, one's been acting up.), one HP, a Seagate "IMPRIMIS" (differential
|   SCSI), and a seagate hawk. The ONLY manufacturer I've been consistently 
|   satisfied with is (drum roll.......) digital. We have two, both of which 
|   are fairly high volume servers (one's in a news spool.) One has operated
|   for a year without problems, one has operated for almost 4 years without
|   problems. Compare that with the HP  that lasted us less than 2 months.

Good for you, but DEC's disk division was bought by Quantum.
