[comp.sys.mac.hardware] 105MB Quantum HD

kingson@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu (Kingson Gunawan) (03/07/91)

I am planning to purchase an external quantum HD (105MB).  I notice in the ads in macuser Hard Drive International sells it for $399.  Also, what confuses me is that HDI sells 80MB quantum drive for $439 (external).  How come a higher capacity drive costs less?  Is there any problem with quantum 105 that I need to be aware about?
Who made the original Mac IIsi internal HD (40Mb)?
I notice some mac have a very noisy HD (they make beeping noise) and some don't, how come?  Is Quantum drive noisy too?

The disk in my /40 is a Conner model.  Selected for it's low power
consumption and small size it would appear.
