After scanning the groups it would appear that the Seagate >: barracudas have a bad tendency towards heat-related failure.. I have one 2GB Barracuda (old version) that runs hot, but has been reliable. I have three 4GB Barracudas which have given no problems whatsoever. The oldest is about a year old now, if I remember correctly. All of the drives are running with Adaptec 2740/2740A controllers in 486 EISA machines running NetWare. I'm running with defaults, i.e., I have not turned off the cache, tag queueing, etc. -- Michael L.
