FWIW the disk that is malfunctioning is a 3-month-old Fujitsu 15k 36G (MAM3367MP) which is an expensive server-grade disk. The reason I selected Fujitsu was because of reported quality problems on IBM disks and Fujitsu's good reputation on SCSI (their IDE line is bad however). I am looking for informed opinions on these disks and recommendations for future purchases. What are the most reliable SCSI disks out there? It must be: fast, affordable, reliable, (select any two ;-)
Somehow, I wish you hadn't said that..... I just recently commissioned a fileserver with 14 Fujitsu MAM3367MC drives. I wander what the difference between P and C is... Previously we have used Seagates which have seemed quite reliable. The only real problems that we have had is with the IBM IDE DeathStars (oops, I meant DeskStars. Naughty keyboard). As far as SCSI drives, I have no significant experiences of unreliability, and I hope to keep it that way. NeilBrown
