- I'm running four servers, each with one Connor 3540 SCSI drives on Adaptec
- 1542B controllers, and a fifth server with two 3540s on a 1542B. They work
- great; no problems whatsoever. Being 3.5" drives, they only take a half-
- high bay, so it's easy to add a few more.

- Connor also has a gigabyte drive, but I'm not sure what the model number
- is. We're installing a lot of their smaller IDE drives in systems (over
- 9,000 last month), and have very little trouble with them.
