Hello All
I'am planing to construct a hard drive system based on the
Seagate embedded SCSI ST 296N 85 Meg Hard Drive. I was wondering if
anyone has purchase this unit and would comment on it's performance/and
or any problems that you have had with this Mec.
Please reply E-Mail
Thanks John Stiborek

It's shining point is that it is the best deal in town in price/capacity ratios (or at least when I brought it about a year ago). It has performed flawlessly in conjunction with a ICD host adaptor and formatted in 1:1 interleave. This is what I set it up for, but I'm not sure if it's actually 1:1 interleave, but it's fast enough so that I don't care. The only problem is that this is my second one. The first one I brought died in a week, so I sent it back and got a new one. The 296N is the only drive I have owned or worked with, so I don't know how it performs against other drives, but in my book it's solid and reliable.
