My 2c worth.

In an effort to get a reasonable Linux beasty running at home, I recently
bought a Quantum Sirocco 1700 (1.7Gb) ($330 if that a good price I'm
happy, if not I don't want to know about it 8^). I had a choice of running
a drive off my SCSI card, or off a EIDE card - price won out.

Runs nicely off a VL bus EIDE card, has Win 95 and Linux sitting on it.

I have had a bad experience with Seagate in the past, and my previous
Maxtor drive was ordinary (but then again, it is about 4 years old).

Regards,
CSE.
