I've had a Conner 104 Meg drive with Chicony controller for a few months
now. The Conner's are supposed to be rated 40,000 hours mean-time-before-
failure (yes, that's 4.5 years). I've had no problems in my HP Vectra,
other than finding the right mounting brackets, since the older Vectras
have "different" rails. Other than that, nothing's been a problem- the
drives are *tiny* (3.5 inch, half height) and light (as in, I had to search
through the box popcorn before I realized the drive was in there!) and very
quiet. Also, is a SCSI disk, so I can get good transfer rates, and the
Chicony controller emulates an ST506 (for compatibility with software that
likes to see Seagate controllers). Had done quite and extensive search before
buying and am quite pleased with what I ended up with...

ps: I bought mine through B&W systems in MD- 301-963-5800- they were
exceptional about answering questions and the general hand-holding that
goes with us engineers shelling out large sums of money...
