   Maxtor 1.2 G and Conner 540M both have worked flawlessly for a year
   here...

I have one Conner CFA-850A drive that I'm very pleased with the
performance of. But avoid the Conner CFS series disks, they only have
64Kb onboard cache (vs. 256 On the CFA series). And as for ithers to
avoid, the Quantum Fireball 1.2 Gig drive should be regarded as a
plague, it is not only under-cached, but noisy and slow...
