We just had an RZ55 die on us and the repair cost exceeds the cost of a third
party drive of twice the capacity. Time for an upgrade.

The big question is to what. We are looking at a Maxtor 5 1/4" XT8760S,
and a SEAGATE ST4767N. These being the two drives we can get quickly.
We where also considering a Fujitsu M2263-SA. Any one had any experience
Good or Bad with these drives?

Thanks
