Does anyone have experience with quantum SCSI disks?  I have had four
Quantum Empire 1080's (three of which have died).  Now I have a 2.5 GB
Atlas (about 6 months old) which started giving me medium errors today:
Sep 26 20:43:51 kyyhky /netbsd: sd0(ncr0:1:0): medium error, info = 260265 (decimal), data = 00 00 00 00 00 3a 6b 40 00 00
Sep 26 20:47:09 kyyhky /netbsd: sd0(ncr0:1:0): medium error, info = 260265 (decimal), data = 00 00 00 00 00 3a 6b 40 00 00
Sep 26 20:51:26 kyyhky /netbsd: sd0(ncr0:1:0): medium error, info = 260265 (decimal), data = 00 00 00 00 00 3a 6b 40 00 00

I guess this one is about to die as well?

Does anyone have ANY Quantum disk (over 1 GB) that WORKS?  I have a few old
Quantums (80 MB, 170 MB etc) and they work just fine, but these newer disks
always seem to die within 12 months of purchase.

Any recommendations for disks that work reliably?  I have a few 1 GB Seagates,
Fujitsus, one Maxtor etc. and they have never failed.

I think I'll devote the rest of my life for telling the world how useless
the Quantum drives are.  ARGH!!!
