How was reliability for it? The Weltec half speed 1.2M
5.25" did NOT work
well.
First of all, they're /slow/.
There is also a problem arising due to their slow rotation speeds. They get
clogged up quite easily, so running a cleaning disk once or twice a year is
really necessary to prolong the lifespan of your expensive HD mechanism.

Nice, aren't they?
But why al that extra space? The disc can't be oval, so why the rectangular
case?
