The ST-251-1 is a 28 ms drive. How many people have used RLL encoding on their ST-251? A vendor here advised me not to, saying the hard drive would probably die on me within 6 months. He suggested buying an ST-251-R, which he said is better suited to RLL. Any opinions? Please e-mail to sarathy@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca If that doesn't work (it's a new address) then try sarathy@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu Using 'R'eply from rn will probably not work due to the UUCP addition to the Reply-To field, above.
