[comp.sys.ibm.pc] What HD is the best?

mms00786@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (06/28/89)

Can someone please tell me which kind of harddisk is considered the best? I
called Zeos up and they said that RLL can't be beat for reliability. Hard    
drives international claims that RLL has given them a lot of problems. Another
vendor said to go with MFM, yet another said that the ST4096 has always had
manufacturing defects. Yet another said that SCSI was great, but another said
that you can't network SCSI controlled HD's. So I am a little confused here.
What are the pros and cons of each type of HD? Also, are there known problems
with specific drives? I am mainly interested in the ST4096, the ST277R, or
some other brand in the 65-80 Meg range.

Any information will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Milan
