IMO:

The quantum fireball are consumer grade drives for regular PC's at best
and not designed for any heavy duty use.

The quantum atlas-II drives are very rugged and seem to be very good.
(1+ years in a news machine as a spool drive).  These drives also cost
more then the fireballs.

I think the oldest quantum atlas-II drives we use have been news spool
drives for over 2 years.

I believe that Quantum purchased the DEC drive division 2-3 years ago and
the atlas-II's are drives designed originally by the DEC drive division.
The oldest working drive we have (purchased 1994?) is a DEC DSP3210 2GB
drive that has been a news spool drive from the start.
