It's a few weeks since I did an Eagle (but another 6 should arrive in
a couple of weeks. I estimate 3 to 4 hours to format them all under
the 4.2BSD format. But we don't do 'severe burn in', just 'worst-case
media-test'. The disks have been happy with it so far (9 of them).

You didn't say which bus/controller/cpu you're using, but these figures
are for Vax 11/750 with Emulex SC750.
