Once had a Samsung 1.6GB drive.  It was a little noisier than others
but seemed to be solid.  I put it in a system I built for a dear
friend 10hrs away.

 RJT> names popping up more and more in my searches lately...

I think Samsung is one of only a few survivors in a Korean shakeout.

Quantum only makes tape drives now.
