Re: [tlug] Any recommendations for cheap reliable external storage?

["SCHWARTZ, Fernando G." <fgs@example.com>]

... Quickly to say, I commonly use "NFS" shares as opposed to anything 
else, specially "CIFS" which is in my book Micro$hit compatibility stuff.

In 2008 (or so), Google did a survey of HD manufacturing and kept the 
results partially non-public. My own experience, HITACHI, now Hitachi 
GST/WD at the top, although hopefully they don't turn "south" after the 
merger and SEAGATE being just random quality. Some SEAGATE 2TB models 
are known to have 48% failure rate or so.

Cheers everybody.
