I didn't catch the beginnings of this thread, but I'll throw in my 2-cents worth anyway :-) When we bought our SS1s a couple years back, SUN only sold the 104Mb drives (I think). In any event, we went to a 3-rd party vendor who sold the 207Meg drives and who assured us that they'd work ok in the SS1s. Now, I don't know whether it was lack of cooling, a bad batch of disks (they were all Maxtors), or whatever, but since this time, 4 (or 5, can't remember) out of 8 drives installed had to be replaced. Most recently (about 4 months ago) I replaced the latest "casualty" with a Rodime drive. So far, so good :-) The vendor who sold us the disks thinks we just bought a "bad batch" and that all their other customers were extremely happy with their 207s...So far, they were decent enough to replace the defective drives free of charge.
