CMS sells an internal 80M hard disk with 26ms average access time and
another 102M hard disk with 28ms average access time. Both disks list
at $1695 (there's a 27% educational discount). Other than the slower
speed, is there anything else that makes the 102M drive "inferior" to
their 80M drive. Its tempting to get, but if its noisy or has some
other fault, I'd like to know. So, does anything have any experience
with these two CMS drives?
On another note, how do either of these drives compare with the Jasmine
90M internal (speed and noise)?

I can tell you though that the drive is a half-height made by Rodime. (Someone else will have to tell you whether that's good or bad, and I don't know who makes their 80 meg drive) Robert -- Robert K.

Well my Jasmine I90 is a nice fast drive, but there is an obnoxious whine that periodically starts up during operation. Seems to be related to vibration of the drive itself. I have taken to shoving wads of paper under the connector edge (point of connection at the drive)that runs from the drive to the SCSI stuff on the motherboard to try and shut it up but find that it only helps for a short while. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% David L.
