Hi. Looking through the February issue of _Computer Shopper_, I've seen a few places advertise a Seagate drive model ST4144R. It's a full height, 122 meg RLL drive, for around $600. I've never heard of this drive before. Anyone know if this is a new product from Seagate? Anyone care to share his/her experiences with this drive? I'm building my own 386 box right now, and am currently looking for a large hard drive. I was considering the ST296N with the ST02 combination, but many people on the net seem to have problems with that setup. Is the 4144 more reliable? It takes up a full height slot, but otherwise, works out to be about the same dollar per meg as the 296N (with controller). How do their speed compare? I will be doing mostly program development, and some multitasking (no multiuser). Anyone got a recommendation? You can reply either by post or email. If there is enough interest, I'll post a summary. - David ---==lulu@ucrmath==--- just another bewildered college undergraduate.
