- I am in love with my LP120S! :-) When I first got it, I experienced many
- lockups, but that was due to a jumper set wrongly on my HD controller (GVP).
- When I put my A2000 on its side I needed to reformat the drive (well, the
- first partition anyway) because of r/w errors, but that was only to be
- expected. Overall, I'd give the LP120S full marks. Its only flaw would be
- that it is noticeably louder than my old LP52S. But the raw speed makes up
- for it. :-)
-
- BTW The new ELS drives are - I have heard - a LOT slower.

- Barry.
