Can anybody >confirm or discredit this claim ? Well, at the Fujitsu testing labs, they take a drive and spend 22.8 years running it until it fails. Then they market it. So, way back in 1970 they developed this drive and started testing it. Now they market it as 200,000 Hours MTBF. :) -Scott -- ***************************************************************************** * F.B.I.B.M.--The most feared merger * gsbg9079@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu * *****************************************************************************
