Oooh aargh, us old timers know, they don't make 'em like 'ey uset too.

I have 4 Quantum ELS &/or S as factory fitted to Macintosh, 120 & 240 Mb,
running 24x7 for over 4 years now. Actually I did replace one about 3
months ago, simply because I thought it started to sound a bit noisy. The
replacement? Another of the same, swapped it with one from a 8x5 desktop
machine, both still OK.
