Dear Kris:

I have had two Quantum Big Foot Drives fail in a computer
bought new in April of last year. The drive in the computer
now is a Western Digital which has worked perfectly since
November of 1997 and I have noticed that it runs faster
than the Big Foot and is smaller in physical size than the
Big Foot.

In the computer that I am going to build should I stick
with Western Digital or is there another hard drive that
is better?

Thanking you in advance,

Michael
