I'm interested in buying a Jasmine DirectDrive 40 for my SE after reading the glowing reviews in the February MacUser. However, the number of negative comments on the net have made me a little gunshy. As well, I heard an unsubstantiated rumour here that Jasmine might be going belly up in the near future. Has anybody heard anything at all like this?

I ordered their 40 drive early Jan. They told me that I would be getting it in ~ 4 wks. (due to supply problem) Well, I called them in early Feb. and they told me that I would get it early march. I called them last week and now they tell me that I will get it early Apr. I haven't read this newsgroup for a long time but figured I would see if there were any postings about problems with Jasmine recently. Lo and behold, I see quite a few people complaining. Anyone out there know what the delivery lag for Jasmine is? I am considering canceling the order. James

If I were you, I would. You have only seen the best part of them, the
worst is yet to come. Try getting some service from them, or worst of
all try to get your disk repaired from them. Just call their service
line and try to talk to a real person.
Good Luck
