Thanks for the comments. Yes, I'm well aware that the more disk space I 
have,the more data that will mysteriously appear. However, I just want room 
for my major applications, I don't mind swapping data so much.

But we do have a point of disagrement.  A previous message stated that 
drives older than two years were better for RLLing (if they were certified 
for MFM, but not tested for RLL). You claim that newer drives are better. I 
don't think this one can be resolved though, because you both have points.
