Yep. Of course you can count on removables such as the RA60 being much more dust sensitive than a fixed media. Of course the RA81 drives had the problem with the crumbling HDA glue early on in their life which DEC didn't want to fess up to for a while. I had two 785's in a cluster with a 12 RA81 HSC-based disk farm once. I lost 6 drives at various times because of this! But on the other hand that uVAXII system survived through piles of dirt! mr bill
