Well, I finally went out and got myself a harddrive. It's a Maxtor SCSI drive running off of the 2090A controller. I also got the new 1.3 ROMS put in. I have a couple of questions, though, and I hope someone knows the answers: 1. Is there any software available to park the head of my drive? I didn't get any with the drive. Supposedly the Rodime drives on the 2000HD are auto-parking -- does anyone know if the Maxtors are? 2. What software do you recommed for hard drive maintenance & backups? And where can I get that program that figures out the drive stats (i.e., transfer speed, interleaving, etc.)? Thanks to all...
