We've lost 4 of those drives (out of 10) in about a year in a model 170.
Thankfully saved by RAID-5 every time. Perhaps that 10K RPM stuff wasn't
quite ready for prime time.

Hi,

My financial system is a model 270 with 6 10,000 RPM 8 GB DASD units.  I
had my first failure last Tuesday on that system, which was protected by
RAID-5.  The disk was replaced later on Tuesday.  Today (Monday) I have had
another unit on that system fail, just six days apart.

Any similar stories?
