Hi,
I'm wondering if I should get an RA60 drive some time. The idea
of removeable hard drives is kind of cool, but I don't want to
put up yet another machine, so this one might just fit due to its
easy rack-mountable "drawer" style. What is it like, is it as
heavy as the RA8x?

Probably heavier, though I've not used/owned an RA8x. My main gripe
against the RA60 is the reliability issue. I finally replaced the ones
on our 11/785 last year with a SABB array (4 x RA72s). And you can fit 2
SABB's in the space of one RA60.
The RA-60 packs are cooler looking, though. Even dead ones. :>)
