What kind of drives are you folks using these days? I've been sticking with Western Digital and Seagates in my hot-swap cases for the past few years. Had a Seagate 160 go down - cost a bunch of money to get the files back. I've gotten a couple of Fantom 500 GB drives - G-Force, I think. Had small scare working off of one today and got me thinking that these might not be Industrial Strength, if you know what I mean...

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I've had pretty good luck with Seagates

Just had a 500G made by another manufacturer go down - don't remember who, can look it up in my files if you want...oh and it was just over a year old with very little milage on it - less than 100 G and used for backup of my backup

yikes -

Gantt I meant to get back to you with the specs of my new PC. I have an email invoice with them in it, but it's on my old G5 at another location. Once I can get there, I'll retrieve it and send them for you.

Hi Ted! No rush - Things tend to move slowly around here these days! Well, buying new computer kinds of things, at least.

Thanks!

Been using WD black label server grade drives for the last 6 years or so and I replace them every 3 or 4 years. Good so far...

Western Digital Enterprise drives have been good for me.

I also believe in having the data in multiple places. Digital data doesn't exist until it's in at last two different media.

Cheers

do any of you guys run your OS and Paris exe on a solid state hard drive? (ssd) ?

i'm thinking of getting a ssd for windows xp and paris to run on then a 1 tb 7200 rpm drive to save the paris projects too.

i know it is probably not necessary to have paris and xp on a ssd but just wondering if anyone has it working?
