I just recently commissioned a fileserver with 14 Fujitsu MAM3367MC drives. I wander what the difference between P and C is... Previously we have used Seagates which have seemed quite reliable. The only real problems that we have had is with the IBM IDE DeathStars (oops, I meant DeskStars. Naughty keyboard). As far as SCSI drives, I have no significant experiences of unreliability, and I hope to keep it that way.
