- I remember starting up this thread of discussion about Quantums a few weeks
- back now. I must have missed some of the discussion in between then and now -
- is there REALLY something wrong with the new Quantum 120/240LPS drives? If
- there is, what's the problem - I'm still waiting for my second replace drive to
- come back...
-
- Despite the experiences so far, I still think Quantums are worth a
- recommendation. I can't afford a Wren or HP drive... 8^(
