- You should get approx. 115-116 MB from a 120 drive. 114 may be right, but
- it sounds like you are one meg or two short. Also, Quantum has their own
- definition of MB on some of their drives: 1 MB = 1000000 bytes !
-
- You don't have to worry about sector errors. SCSI handles this automatically
- for you, by remapping bad sectors.
-
- BTW, the Quantum LPS120 drive is out of production now. What a pity, it's
- an extraordinary fast drive...
