Ahhh - the memories...
Quantum Fireballs
IBM DeathStars, err, I mean DeskStars (Click of Death)
Early 7200RPM Seagate Barracudas ATA (another drive that could cook eggs)
I remember a few 10K Seagate Cheetahs giving up the ghost (thank god for RAID5)
Fujitsu SCSI drives...

Raid
On the topic of raid, anybody else experience one of Dell's problem Perc3 Controllers of a couple years ago? I had one. Without the right firmware it would take out multiple drives on a raid unit. One of my servers has 14 73gig scsi drives and it took out at least 4 of them. A huge pain in the .....Was the only time I have seen dell willing to send a tech to you whenever you wanted 7*24*365 to fix the problem. Thank goodness I didn't have anything critical on there. Since 2 or more drives failed per container, raid couln't help. They actually called me, but one of mine already bit the dust.

Western Digital Over Seagate... Always...
If cost is a factor Hitachi makes a great low cost HD that can be outfitted externally.

I had a few flukey things happen on a PE4200 & PE4300 with the Perc/3 - did not realize it was that wide spread... I had a 10K Quantaum Atlas dead out of the box on a PE2300 back 6+ years ago... |
