Hi There, I'm in the market for a hard drive, and need some advice on the best types. I've been through the things I've used and decided that I need about 50meg, although I could probably get away with 40 if it was a good price. If you could give me you opinions on the ones you have used, I would be most grateful. Details such as speed, reliability and price are most important, price being the main one! If you are posting from outside of the U.K., price will probably not be that useful, unless the company concerned ships abroad. Replies by email please, if anyone else is interested in the results, I will be happy to forward them. Thanks Alot Steve

Brilliant no e-mail address included, oh dear. I recently went to the Computer Shopper Show at Wembley, England. And there I spotted my dream come true, a 42Mb Hard Drive at an incredible price of only $(English)299.99, it was a Power Drive 9000 series. Bit big and noisy, but generally nice. I understand that this was a stock clearance price, but there may be more available. Hope this helps, Andrew Thompson

Just saw another Power Drive advert. The prices have gone back up to $(Eng)325, which is still quite resonable, unfortunately, Power Computing do not accept University orders. Personally I recomend the 42Mb SlimLine Hard Disk for $(Eng)345. Very silent. Very Small. Andrew Thompson
