Drives. Was - Re: [plug] New box :p)

[garry]

When I bought my 80GB I was told that IBM sources their drives from a couple 
of different makers. 

I ended up buying a Barracuda IV, I liked the fluid mounting and quiet 
operation. I was prepared to do without 15,000rpm or SCSI performance, but it 
was able to handle the load of the Installfest 2002 as the server, and makes 
me smile daily as a local mirror! I guess for the load (and environment)  
I'll ever put on it it will give me service for a few years.

And the difference between it and a IBM drive was less than a box of beer..
