" From: martin nichols <[email protected]> " " Hi All, " " Wow! Many many thanks for all the helpful suggestions. " " I think I'll try the Bob Smarts process on the 'spare' machine using another " disk in the external box. That way I can have a dry run of the whole thing " without touching the 'at risk' system. I take Sheldons point that the " SUN424's are really on borrowed time so a newer bigger disk would be better. " I have some Quantum Fireball 1080S drives that are OK. I'll try one of those. ummm... i believe pretty strongly that the quantum drives aren't as long lived or reliable as the cdc/seagate sun0424s. my rule of thumb is that companies that used drives make/made good drives. the high end seagates come from the former cdc drive division, which they purchased. hitachis are the former ibm drive operation, which except for the infamous 'deathstars' [deskstars] were top notch. fujitsu - they make serious systems. i don't know where dec's disk operation is now; it may be part of seagate too. quantum never used their own drives. western digital never used their own drives. the low end seagates were - and if they still exist, are - trash. companies that did use their own drives learned the hard way the value of quality product. the quantums will be good for learning the process, but i strongly suggest you look for better drives for the 'at risk' system. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen [email protected] and think what none thought
