- Hi!
-
- For the last four months we have been having hardware problems with
- the four SMD drives on our 4D/380S. The drives, controller, and cables
- have been replaced, but the problems keep coming back.
-
- Field Service has offered to replace the four SMD drives with four SCSI
- drives of the same size. We are concerned about the performance of the
- SCSI drives. Can we expect to get the same speeds from the SCSI drives
- that we get from the SMD drives? Can we expect the SCSI drives to be
- more reliable?
-
- Thank you very much.
