I have had too much > trouble with their high end drives (4GB Grand Prix's and Atlases). <rest of post deleted> Agreed. They're junk. Over one year's time, I went through three of Quantum's 2.1 GB (two were DOA, the other three failed within a couple of months). This was at one site. Another site I was at had purchased three of the 4 GB drives, and within six months all three were dead (each was in a separate machine.) I've had good luck with the current Seagates, as well as Conners. -- Dave Brady Administrative Computer Services Sr. UNIX System Administrator Northeastern University dave@acs.neu.edu Suite 448CP Phone: (617) 373-4156 360 Huntington Avenue FAX: (617) 373-4354 Boston, MA 02115
