Libraries are down

Wouldn't happen to be IBM/Hitachi Deskstar's would they? I've had three fail in as many years. BOOOOOO Deskstar BOOOOOOO! >

Fujitsu SCSI. We've lost at least 3 IBM Deathstars here over the last 2 years. At least 1 of them I suspect was a thermal issue, but not sure about the other ones.

BUT IT BACK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > > > > > > > > >

Not really. Skin download area is still down.

Library downloads will remain off for probably the next 2 hours.

Gee...I thought is was my comp

Invest in some maxtor drives!

Update: Looks like one of the drives has suffered a catastrophic failure. So the libraries will be down while we restore from backup.

im with kona on the maxtor's. i've never had one fail, and i've got a poor little celeron system i bought in '98 that i've pummeled and its still stable as ever. i believe our servers at work are maxtor scsi's also.

Ever since I my IBM Deskstar problems began, I started buying Maxtors exclusively. I have 4 of them - haven't had any of them fail in the 4 years I've had them.

I guess we're thankful for small things. Like that its happening now instead of Thursday.

Last I heard, IBM was the last company you would ever want to be making your hard drive.

They were suffering an absurd number of failures and losing money hand over fist.

Anytime I buy a drive, when asked what brand, I say 'I'm not fussy, as long as it's NOT IBM'...

Fujitsu SCSI?????
Amazing this is really good SCSI...How It comes
