Default Hubble's rate sensors

Pardon my ignorance but...

What are the specs on the Hubble's rate sensors? How much does it
drift and how minute of an angular rate can it detect?

Were these mechanical gyros more accurate than solid-state gyros?
Their MTBF doesn't seem too impressive...I'm just wondering why they
didn't use a more robust rate sensor.

Thanks in advance...
