What do people think of Peripherial Land hard disks? In particular, the PL30? I am trying to decide between this and a Jasmine 20MByte drive. According to the review in MacWorld, the PL30 is a LOT faster than the Jasmine (ie. something like 20 or 30ms average seek, as opposed to 85ms for the Jasmine). I am able to purchase either for about the same price. Is the Peripherial Land drive a good drive? Thanks for any help. -lee ---- Lee Atchison Hewlett Packard, Information Networks Division Cupertino, CA 95014 atchison%hpindda@hplabs.hp.com

I have a PL30I and couldnt be more happy with it. It is fast, quiet, and works quite well. Easy to install, comes with a case for your old 800K floppy, great deal. I picked mine up at MacWorld expo from MAC in berkley. Got a good deal too, ~$650... As I was riding the elevator in the parking lot a guy from MacUser mag got in and commended me for my choice... whatever thats worth. I say the big thumbs up.
