Seagate 80Meg is part of my configuration of my GS. I used the drive for less than a year, but returned to the mail order house in the States twice already. First time, the drive failed to spin at constant acceleration, and the second time, it wont read/write. In another words, I had alot of problems with it. The cost for me to send it back twice and the time I had to go through with the Canadian Customs is tremendous. In my opinion, I would rather get a more reliable voice coil drive despite the higher cost. Well, as far as I know, I am the only case, does anyone have the same experiences? Tom U. of T.
