The original DTLA and the more recent IC35. The IC35 series were bigger (120GB is the most common size I've seen for those). Proper cooling and firmware upgrade usually fixed the deathstarness on both series. I still have some of both, not in active use for a year or two but still working. As a strange coincidence I was just pulling out some old data from them yesterday. --=20 Ville Syrj=E4l=E4 syrjala@sci.fi http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/
