So what is better than IBM Mr. guy?
Theres a reason most HUGE arrays I've worked with/seen have used IBM.
Seagate is good too, but failure rates are pretty much the same and seagate does cost more.
Treat drives as things that *are* going to fail, it's just a matter of when. The whole moving parts is bad thing.
In any case, I've had great luck with IBM drives, Aside from some DoA SCSI drives I've actually not had one fail in probably 100+ years of run-time (i.e. 100 drives x 1yr)
Can't say the same for micropolis, quantum, and seagate. Just luck though, I know.
