Well, well. i found my high-end SCSI adaptor. couldn't remember
where it got stashed, :-)
Anyway, yup, found the drive. i's a WD400BB.
I just hope this puppy lasts another several months. Oh, but
then i need help to swap it out.
This brings me to my next question which is:: It it better to
buy a proprietary make like Dell or HP or stick to something
more generic? Let's assume that i could handle the hardware end
myself. what would you suggest?
