I've yet to find a reasonable price on Commodore's external drive -
the third party drives cost, on the average, $50 less than the A1010.
Are these drives (some being sold for as little as $140) reliable?
It's not worth a $50 savings to have a drive that either won't read some
disks or dots them with errors...
I would really appreciate any opinions/info. about experience people
have had with the various 3rd party drives.

Although Andrew was asking about external drives, I have a similar request about df1: for the 2000 (internally mountable). Are there any after-market drives that can beat the rather steep price tag on Commodore's offering? Anyone have any experience with such a beast? Warnings are especially appreciated.

I would recommend the Master 3a. It sells for as low as $159, and comes with a one-year warranty. The Amiga Dealer I work for has been selling them for
about a year now with no problems (or complaints) - besides it's small, and has
a long cable.
