	Data recovery from Quantum hard drives - Bigfoot and Prodrive
		Mostly manufactured in the mid to late 90s, it's quite rare to find one of these drives requiring data recovery as the systems they were once running in have often been upgraded to a more modern specification.
		Drives failures are frequently electronic or electro mechanical in nature, and therefore it's often possible for us to recover the data from them if the correct procedures are followed.
		Please note that all modern hard disk drives are manufactured to very high standards, fail infrequently and have very similar rates of reliability.

	Bigfoot (hard drive) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bigfoot hard drive was a brand of hard disk marketed by Quantum Corporation in the mid-1990s which featured a larger physical size than hard disks typical at the time.
		Typical hard drives are 3.5" in diameter, while Bigfoot hard drives were 5.25" wide and fit in a standard IBM PC drive bay.
		Bigfoot was initially a success, earning inclusion in low-end stock PCs such as ones manufactured by Compaq as well as being popular with the PC enthusiast community.

	Bigfoot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is the name of a phenomenon which has polarized people around the world, being either the product of vivid imagination or a creature that has somehow avoided close observation or capture by man.
		Bigfoot is described as a large, bipedal hairy humanoid creature living in remote wilderness areas of the United States and of Canada, specifically those in south western Canada, the Great Lakes, the Pacific Northwest, the Rocky Mountains, the forests of the U.S. Northeast, and the U.S. Southern states.
		Bigfoot researchers argue that the absence of fossilized evidence is not evidence of fossil absence.

	CNN - When it comes to hard drives, size is everything - June 12, 1998
		The burst rate of a drive isn't critical for most real-world applications; you might notice a difference only if your hard drive were perfectly defragmented and you were reading long documents off it (the less fragmentation, the less the drive head has to search to read a file).
		Your old drive is most likely attached to the first connector on the primary channel's cable, with its jumpers set to master--the only configuration that allows that hard drive to start your PC.
		To set up a Seagate drive, you must temporarily jumper it as a slave, hook it up to the other connector on the same cable as the old hard drive, and change it later to be the master.

	The Red Hill Guide: odd drives
		A drive's actual access time is composed of three things: a small amount of command overhead ("thinking time"), the seek time (as the head moves to the correct track), and latency (as the head waits for the correct sector to rotate under it).
		The CD drive is usually configured as a stand-alone device on the second IDE controller, or else slaved to the hard drive on the primary IDE controller.
		Other hard drive makers, notably Maxtor, regarded SDX as proprietary technology and complained that Western Digital were asking for license fees — hardly the sign of an open standard.

		The error checking on the drive would not run both the "Auto fix errors" or the "Recover bad sectors" options simultaneously, but they could be run independently (I'm concerned here but not overly since neither check came up with problems).

		If your hard drive is damaged by bad sectors, the disk not only becomes unfit for use, but also you risk to lose information stored on the disk.
