I am posting this message for a friend of mine, please reply to me for him... I am interested in buying a 40 meg mfm hard drive and am considering the seagate 251-1. I have no information on the reliability of this drive or any other comparable drive except through a couple of friends' experiences. If anybody has seen a rating from some publication of hard drive failure rates or can speak from personal experience, please reply. ---Greg Send Replies in care of sender. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | David B.
