I am about to buy a harddisk, at least 200 MB, but I have also looked at other alternatives, up to 650MB. What is the best ones to buy ? You can't get Quantum drives > 210MB, and the best price/MB seems to be the 613MB Seagate WREN 5 for $1700 (external). But the $1500 337MB Seagate WREN Runner is a half-height drive, and is a 10.7 ms access time. Please tell me where to buy and where not to buy. Also experiences with these drives. I want a drive I can trust, and that will not make too much noise. Also what is better, Maxtor or WREN ? Please E-mail as I do not have much time to read news these days. I am studying for examn. -- ******************************************************* Povl H. Pedersen hp48sx@wuarchive.wustl.edu HP48sx archive maintainer

In the meantime I have talked to MacTel, they told me that there will come a new 420MB quantum drive next week, priced $1479. Anybody knows anything about it ? size/speed etc. -- ******************************************************* Povl H. Pedersen hp48sx@wuarchive.wustl.edu HP48sx archive maintainer
