And speed really counted, so I had racks and racks of disks striped out the wazoo. I had an r&d budget which meant I got the latest toys,but if they weren't going to be deployed (they really ran too hot) then they got put away. And I had permission to take stuff home from my boss. |

Yabut, the Cheetah line was server grade SCSI. Deskstar is ATA consumer.
