I hope I'm wrong.
Wired, because I have DJAA-31700 (1,7 GByte), DAQA-33240 (3,2 GByte)
DHEA-36480 (6,4 GByte) and DHEA-38451 (8,4 GByte) which are running
since years without any defects.
Some of these are running on 3Ware 3c6507 (Raid-{1,5}, UDMA-66)
without any problems. Most of them are running in small Servers for
more then 4 years.
Oh yes, my Develstation is using four DHEA-38451 compiling every day.
No errors detected since I have bought it in 03/1998.
Greetings
Michelle
