Well as the super-eagle fiasco proves, one model is not the same as another,
but I personally am greatly impressed with the NEC 8" drives. I found two
168MB NEC drives, somewhat beat up, at a local electronics scrap place. I
got them cheap in hopes that at least one would work, and was amazed that
both formated with *NO* bad sectors. They've been working nicely ever since...
