[Scottish] hard drives

[Mark McRitchie]

Hi Neil,

I've got two Maxtor HDs. A 40GB and a 60GB, both 7200rpm. 
They're both warranty replacements. Both the original drives keeled over
shortly before their warranty was due to run out. Of course, that was in the
days Maxtor did 3 year warranties on their HDs, not the 1 year they do
now...

I'm still trying to decide on another 60GB drive to RAID with my current
one. I don't think its gonna be a Maxtor one though.

Regards,
Mark.
