I have a large percentage of people that are handing me computers for free but only asking that I wipe the drives. With the quantity I'm getting, I need something that works fast, is capable and durable. Anyone have a good suggestion for a brand or a setup that has worked great for you?
Startech all the way. Now as far as fast you can forget that. 80gb will take an hour. 1tb drive took me 14 hours. If you want fast you need to buy one of the stand alone units that will cost you $2500 per bay. Or you can just send them to me and ill do all the work for you.
