[Cialug] Maxtor drives

[Chris Hilton]

I'm gonna guess these drivers get used a lot then?  We have drives at 
work that have been going for at least 4-5 years (most of them IDE of 
some sort in a promise) and I don't think any have been replaced.  But 
they are low usage (like someone reads from it a few times a day, and 
major activity might happen 10 times a year).  Obviously you have 30 
times as many disks but still, 2 weeks just seems so fast!
