I am beginning to shop around for a new external hard drive for my Mac SE. I know there has been a LOT of talk on the good, the bad and the ugly of several brands of hard drives for the Mac recently. And I have caught SOME of the discussion, but now I need to get some specifics about specific drives. If you would be willing to share any of your insights on these drives (the good, the bad, and the ugly), especially regarding where they can be bought for the BEST prices, I'd appreciate it. The drives I'm considering I want to get as EXTERNAL drives, and only in the stated sizes (prices are as advertised in MacUser magazine): Mirror Technologies 40Mb at $687, 60Mb at $757, 80Mb at $947 Jasmine: 40Mb at $699, 80Mb at $999 Ehman: 45(+)Mb at $529, 65Mb at $579, 85Mb at $679 Peripheral Land: 50Mb at $850 Osicom (if purchased through MacZone): 45Mb at $635, 60Mb at $745, 80Mb at $885 MicroNet (if purchased through "MacLand"): 45Mb at $569, 62Mb at $699 Shamrock: 47Mb at $585, 60Mb at $625, 80Mb at $695 Rodime: 60Mb at $829 Optimal: 40Mb at $649, 48Mb at $599, 80Mb at $919 If you can share any knowledge/experience on the above drives, please send me e-mail. Thanks. Jim Collymore
