[Cialug] Google Hard Drive Study

[Dave J. Hala Jr.]

What I thought was interesting was that there didn't seem to be any
difference between scsi and other disks. What's interesting is that my
experience has been the opposite. I've always had less failures with
Scsi drives.

I guess I just don't have enough computers.
