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. -- Sean T.
