[comp.periphs.scsi] Maxtor vs Fujitsu

kean@talon.UCS.ORST.EDU (Kean Stump) (04/02/91)

I'm looking at the purchase of a large SCSI disk for a Sun SS2, and the paper
candidates seem to be the Fujitsu M2266 and the Maxtor Panther.

I have heard "nasty" rumors about the financial stability of Maxtor and Fujitsu
(from both sides, I really love talking with sales reps) and similar rumors
about the quality of each drive.

I am looking for comments on either drive along the topics of reliability,
noise, service from the company, would you buy another one etc.  I am aware of
the firmware problems when dealing with a SS2 but am assured that the fix is
available "RSN".

Thanks,

Kean
