just for some more personal reaction to WD drives.... i have a pair of WD 120 GB SE 8MB cache drives... fastest and best ata drives i have used yet. i use them daily on a Acard ATA 133 card for DV and DA no problems whatsoever. My boot drive is also a WD 60 GB drive, never had any problems with it. all three drives have been in service for over 18 months, and run pretty much 24/7. Meanwhile i have been through a maxtor and 3 seagates in my G3 266.... =/ peace sandor On Tuesday, March 18, 2003, at 12:12 PM, Wilkin, Wayne (Mass) wrote: > Just my 2¢, I wouldn't buy a western digital for a nickel.
