ugh! 

 

the DeathStar....

 

 

No need to keep living in the past.

 

The first generation of these drives also had issues.

We used them on our backup server and within 4 months they failed.

Nowadays I think the quality is better.

Back in the ST-225n days, I HATED Seagate drives... but ever since they bought Control Data and put the new guys in charge, they make the best drives IMHO.

 

 

LOL!!! You're showing your at.. St-225!!!!!

I thought I was stylin' with 3 machines and a lan filled with ST-4096's.. hahahahaha

 

Those were the days where I had the perstor controllers that doubled the capacity but you had to re-do a low-level format every 6 months to deal with the climate changes and platter expansion/contraction.

 

remember it well... 

 

my first hard drive was a Seagate ST-501... 5 mb attached to an Atari 800 

 

I had ST-225s and a ST-4096.  What a monster.  Full height - 80Meg.  Must have weighted 10 lbs.  $1500+

 

I remember low level formatting those old MFM drives at 2:1 interleave.  Those were the days!

Well the perstor controllers would give you almost an extra 90% of the drive back. 80MB became 150MB!

Yep, I remember them too.  Before I switched over to SCSI.
