I apologize if this is a duplicate post as I've sent it once already but
never saw it posted.

After seeing the messages of late about using Seagate Hard Drives instead
of HP. It has begun to make me consider
purchasing a Seagate ST19171WD (9GB) Drive.

In the environment I work in little down time could be tolerated. I would
need to purchase two. One production drive and one backup.

I have been working with a 937 system for around 4 years now. I have never
attended any classes. Just learn as I go. I have never installed a drive
nor have had the misfortune of having a hard drive crash on my 937 system.

With the above said, I have the following questions:

1. What should I be prepared for when installing a drive.  Such as do I
need additional cables, mounting brackets?
2. In the event of a drive crash. What's involved in restoring a system to
operational status again. Do I just do a complete restore, after drive
installation. Or is it possible to just restore (1) volumes information. I
am using HP Turbo-Store software on MPE 5.5.
3. Is it possible to prepare a backup drive. So that when the time arrives
to put it into the system no unnecessary time is spent preparing it?

Thanks for any insights you can give on the subject.
