I have one and I am very happy with it. Why people are
talking bad about
it I can't understand. Sure it isn't fast and has a strange caddy, but
it is _very_ reliable IMHO. Once the disk is in, you won't get any read
errors or timeouts or some such. I have installed operating systems on
several VAXstation 3100s with other SCSI drives and with the RRD40, but
while with other old non-DEC SCSI drives I sooner or later always got read
errors or timeouts, installing with my RRD40 always worked first time
without problems.
I used to use one a lot, and I would sometimes get errors reading
disks. I hated loading and unloading the caddies, too.
