Does this bad record apply to the Hyper FX (SCSI external) drives as well?
I have been considering buying one Real Soon Now (until I saw this latest
batch of messages in comp.sys.mac).
I thought that they had fixed their problems.
btw, I have seen plenty of Hard Disk reviews in terms of speed,
has anyone reviewed them in terms of Reliability?

While I didn't see the original post, allow me to say this.
We have (had) a large number of HyperDrives here, and we enjoyed (!!)
about a 60% failure rate. These are the old HyperDrives (1.0 hardware)
on regular 512K Macs. However, when we installed fans on the HII%Y+machines
all of the problems went away. Right now, I have a HyperDrive (2.0 hardware) ond
with a Fanny Mac fan, and it works *perfectly*. No Problems.
