However... JTS was a short lived supplier is low cost IDE drives and
were noted for high failure rates though there were the occasional
decent one in the pack. They were also very slow compared to
the better WD, Seagate, Quantum and Maxtor.
They had some problems with master/slave selection as well. They made it
to the list of "Worst Models Ever" at www.driveservice.com/bestwrst.htm
with "JTS any model".
Oh, JTS disappeared withing two years after they show
up.
That's a bit of an exaggeration :-) They were around for a while before
they did the Atari deal (1996?), making drives from 1994, and went bust in
1998.
