[comp.sys.atari.st] MegaFile20 vs Supra 20meg

lean@sbcs.sunysb.edu (Lean L. Loh) (11/14/88)

	Can someone who's been using the MegaFile 20 hard-drive from Atari
tell me how noisy this drive is compared to a Supra 20 Meg. I have a Supra
20 Meg bought in March 88 which has served been very well, but i find it
a quite noisy.  Also any general info on the MegaFile 20 will be
appreciated.  Thanks.

I've only used a Supra drive once or twice, but I do know that the Megafile 20
not at all noisy.  Depending on how quite the room you plan to put it in is all
you may hear is the fan working quietly.  I can't detect any noise from the HD
itself (Unlike another HD I own that sounds like a F-4 Phantom ready for
take-off!).
