This is a little off topic, but I thought I would report that we have
been having enormous problems with the ST32550N 2GB 3.5" half height
Seagate Barracuda-2.  We have been using them on a hundred or so PCs
and UNIX machines.  They are less than six months old and they have
been dying at the rate of several per week.  They die in a fashion
that they are no longer visible on the SCSI bus and unresponsive to
commands.  We are currently trying to replace all of them with
Quantums, but they are dying as quickly as we can replace them.  We
have lost untold amounts of time and money and some data dealing with
this problem.

Mr. Dekleer seems to be happy with his.  Perhaps we just got a bad
batch, but it has left such a sour taste in my mouth that it will be a
long time before I buy from Seagate.
