NewMedia magazine did a test of 14 High Perf. SCSI drives in June '95. They rated the Barracudas higher in performance. I'm not sure about dying "unexpectedly and often". I rarely see a problem that is actually the drive's fault. I would suggest also looking into the Connor Filepro 4207. Connor has a very good reputation. I think that drive is in the same price range.
