I'm in the market for a new hard drive to replace the one in my
cube.  I'm looking for a quiet drive with at least 400 megs.  Send
recommendations on brand, supplier, etc to me directly and I
will summarize to the net.

[My current drive is giving me MEDIA ERRORs.  Once I get a new
drive, I may try to reformat the old drive and salvage the good blocks.
However, the documentation on the bad blocks table in the man
pages is quite minimal so I would also appreciate advice on
how to do this.  I've got backups on the OD and am running off
that for now.]
