hello again,
I highly recommend against buying Micropolis drives. I have a Stinger
4743WS, and I have had nothing but problems with it. I have desperatly
been trying to return it, the company I bought it from only has a 30 day
warranty, the the manufacturer warranty applies. Unfortunately
Micropolis-USA has filed for chapter 11 bankrupcy, and is no longer
taking responsibility for it's products. Their website has also
dissappeared. Does anybody know the drive geometry for this hd, fdisk
says :
Disk /dev/sdb: 131 heads, 63 sectors, 1017 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8253 * 512 bytes
but according to the scant documentation I have it's supposed to have
6565 cylendars.
