yeah scsi rules. up until a few weeks ago my main system was all ultrawide scsi..till 2 of the quantum drives died within 2 weeks of each other.. now im cruisin with dual 20.1GB ibm 7200rpm(ide) drives in software raid1 off of a promise ata100 controller.. quantum sucks, but they did send me 9gig ultra160 drives to replace the failed 4.5GB ultra 2 drives :) rock solid..haven't rebooted since i reinstalled the system 21 days 23 hours ago :) (just gotta remember not to store very important info on them ..) nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
