Well, I've always had good luck with Quantum, IBM, and WD... I
have a Quantum Viking 4.3 GB, and a Conner CFP1080E 1.2 GB, in my Ultra1.
Niether are noisy. I do believe I have a couple of the 1.2 Conners sitting
around, which I'd be willing to trade for bigger SCSI drives. No they're
not what you're looking for, der Mouse, but someone else might be
interested. You just reminded me of them. :) Doesn't have to be SCA
either. I can use SCSI2 Narrow and Wide...
BTW, I hope you don't mind me asking, what is the capacity of the
Barracudas? And what's thier fate once you replace them?
