I have experience with only 2 different types of SMD
drives: Fujitsu
Eagles and CDC-9766.
Both good drives. Eagles had one issue .. NOISE !!!

Hi folks,
I recently picked up a Symbolics system built around an 8" Control
Data
Corp. Sabre hard drive.
Some files read when I show the FEP
directory listing but many
show as "Error reading file header, wrong pkid
read" which I assume is some
sort of FEP FS integrity check.
In short, the drive becomes ready and much
of the data appears
still there, but I have some brand of consistent read errors
that preclude
the machine from booting.
It's not a software issue as the
machine was deinstalled in a
working condition.
Anyone familiar with these terrible drives?
Am I totally up the
creek? I tried a couple different orientations.
Too bad. They were the only other option on the G-Machines vs ST-506.
