Hello All, In September issue of MacUser, Hard Drive International has 340MB MiniScribe hard drives priced at $1795 (internal) or $1895 (external). According to their advertisement, these drives come complete with UniMac(tm) formatting & partitioning software and all necessary cables/mounting tools. And these are 16ms drives! Before I jump on the phone, I would like to hear from those who has purchased this package. More specifically, I would like to know if these drives are quiet, and if it is possible to use other partitioning softwares instead of UniMac(tm). I need a RELIABLE, true SCSI partitioning software that is capable of password protection, and (perhaps) options to resize partitions on-the-fly. I'll summarize replies... thanks! * Andy * +----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ | Andy A.
