Hi, I just called Conner and got the information about their 510meg Hard Drive. Unfortunately, the person I talked to in technical support said that the SCCI interface was not ready yet but should be available in 6 months. So If there are any brave souls who want to Beta a Hard Drive talk to Conner. Here are some of the stats: Seek times (min) 4ms Rotational Speed 3609 RPM (ave) 12ms MTBF 100,000 hours (max) 30ms Component Design Transfer Rate Lifetime 5 years (to/from media) 2.0MB/s Data Reliability <1 error in 10 to the 13th Transfer Rate Size 1.625" x 5.75" x 4.00" (to/from buffer) 5.0MB/s Weight 2.3lbs There was no warranty information (naturally) but I would guess it would have a one or maybe two year warranty. The suggested list price (according to Info World) is $1295. All in all it is a fair Hard Drive at a great price (although the Fujitsu is a more reliable drive). However, six months from now, who knows what hard drives will be available? Conner's phone number is (408)456-4501. ---Jack Disclaimer: My opinions are my own.
