It's actually for my home machine.. It's going to be replacing a Maxtor
and a WD IDE disk (which I'll probably put in other machines). I've come
to the conclusion that _anything_ is more reliable than IDE, but I'm not
really sure about this drive. I don't have a tape drive, and I can't
afford one.

There's a 90 day warranty on it. (from the reseller, I think). If anyone
can shed some more light on this, I'd appreciate it.
