I havent run into a conner yet (outside of the one in my portable). So I cant say for sure of its failure modes.

Umm...
The guy I got my Mac's current hard drive from gave me a Conner... But apparently it's an "extra durable" model (by coincidence, I guess). The kind you would find in a hospital, or even a space shuttle.

I did think that Conner's were quite popular back in the day, weren't they? But then, so were Quantums...

Well ive owned Conners back when they were in active use. I had a conner 230mb IDE I was using on an old 486 W95 tower back in 97 i think it was. So it was antique for the time, nothing like they are now.. lol... i let that sucker run with the cover off for the fun of it, and it ran for days like that before it finally crashed.
