[plug] [OT] Quantum Fireball 6.2gig stability question

[Tim Bowden]

I was going to purchase a quantum hdd about early '99 (I think) and I 
was told not to by one or two resellers.  I think from memory they had a 
few too many coming back to them.  Still, if it has lasted this long, 
maybe yours is ok.

HTH,
Tim Bowden
