I agree. During the summer of '86, a local dealer gave our users group a great
price on Relax 20 SCSI drives - $600 (this is at a time when DataFrame 20's
were over $1000, and Apple HD20's (non-SCSI) were selling for $1495. I bought
one, as did several members of the users group. Within 90 days, I got rid of
the drive because the thing scared me - it would hang up, crash, and make
rattling noises. A friend of mine went through 3 of them in a year before
giving up. Several people had problems with theirs. The drives appeared to be
standard Seagate ST-225N's, so I don't know what they were doing wrong. When
you value your data, you'll stick to a proven brand. I've had success with
Jasmine, CMS, SuperMac, Rodime, Apple, and Peak hard drives. I don't think
I'd buy any other drive not listed above.
