[comp.sys.mac.hardware] POWERDrive recommendation needed

bclee@ocf.berkeley.edu (Bob C. Lee) (05/17/91)

	As my IIci's 80mb drive is approaching 99% full, I am now
	considering getting an external hard drive.

	Then I saw this ad in MacUser.  It sounded like a pretty
	good deal to me.

		105mb Quantum 19ms  $399 external.

	Now, a few questions.

	1. Are these POWERDrives reliable?  I was afraid that there
		might be a catch.

	2. I noticed that the 80mb quantum drive with same specs
		cost $40 more than the 105mb.  Why?

	3. And, had anyone seen and would recommend some other deals
		that would do me better?


	Thanks in advance.

	...B.o.b...

Does anybody know which hard drives for the Mac is compatible with the
NeXT?  I heard that some of the drives are made specially for the Mac
and that they're not fully SCSI compatible.  Any info would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,
