Re: [ARSCLIST] external hard drive for a start for archiving audio files

I can't agree on "all" the Seagates. There is a short run that were kind of 
flakey. I have to get back to the studio but it was one of a certain SN of 
Barracudas that went down the tubes. Thank goodness we backed up on 
DVD-ROMs.
