I actually own an APS drive, and things seem to work better when you
put their driver on all your disks.

I dunno; APS 2.7.x/SCSI director pro is nice, but I don't think it's
_that_ nice. If I had to pay, I'd prefer to use Silverlining or Hard
Disk Toolkit, personally.  (Silverlining's interface was somewhat awful
the last time I checked, though. You have to go through all sorts of
bizarre and non-intuitive menus...)

The worst partitioning software I've seen is the one I got from Spin. I
think I put something far more useful on their disk, like 'Bolo'.
