>Looking for hard drive recommendations.  Reliability is of prime
>importance.

You didn't specify interface. If it's SCSI you're after, I consider Maxtor's
Atlas V drives to be reliable. They're enterprise drives. The company I
work for uses them in their Intel server board based boxes for the software/hardware
systems they produce. Our software does an ENORMOUS amount of local disk
crunching. Speed and reliability are musts.

Here's a link:

>Also looking for recommendations on a floppy drive.

I can't say I know as much about floppy drives, but I have heard good things
about TEAC's products. Their CD-ROM drive is good; I presume their floppy
drive is as well.

I'm interested in others' recommendations.

Cheers,
