I have a 32550 on my PowerMac 7100/80 and it' sjust hums right along. I pulled an Apple branded Quantum out, made lots of noise and would occasionally squeal, eventually locked up. What I don't care for in Seagate's line is re-labeled Conner stock. I feel that Conner was probably better than Quantum but they still failed a lot more than all of my WD's, Seagates, Micropolis and Fujitsu drives. -----Original Message----- From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Dave McGuire Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2001 5:00 PM To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Seagate ST32550N vs Quantum XP32150 - which is better?

Their write caches ship set to "disabled" by default, though, so it's usually a good idea to stick it on something that'll allow you to edit the contents of Mode Page 6 to turn it on, if my memory is correct. -Dave -- Dave McGuire St. Petersburg, FL "Less talk.
