Reliability Problems Hamper HiFD maximumpcmag.com >>Dress HiFD in a striped red and white sweater and call it Where's Waldo. Although the 200MB HiFD drive has been in the works for almost two years now, the high capacity floppy challenge to Zip has yet to appear. Two of its supporters, Sony and Teac, kept a candle in the window by displaying HiFD drives at their PC Expo booths. A little digging trudged up some dirt though. According to sources close to one of the companies, reliability problems with the floating head technology has prevented production ramp ups. Currently, the drive is having problems with the head coming into contact with the media when the drive is stressed. When this happens, the media is essentially ruined, and all parties have agreed not to release the drive until the issue is ironed out and the drive is "bulletproof." As to when this may be, nobody is certain.<<
