(Need Recommendation) Message-ID: <48361@pyramid.pyramid.com> Date: 9 Dec 88 09:25:29 GMT Sender: usenet@rice.edu Organization: Rice University, Houston, Texas Lines: 11 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu Original-Date: 24 Nov 88 00:49:33 GMT X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 7, Issue 38, message 11 of 14 Has anyone out there had experience with Miniscribe disk drives? What kind of reliability and performance do they have? I am thinking of getting a 300Mb Miniscribe (dont know the exact model) as the SCSI disk subsystem for my SUN 3/50 (running 4.0). Also, please tell me how much noise they make (other than the usual head-seeking sounds). Supposedly this drive will do everything a WREN-IV will do at about the same price, with a fixed number of sectors per track, and with slightly more disk space. Thanks, David Davis
