[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Quantum Internal hard disks

bh11+@andrew.cmu.edu (Braddock John Hathaway) (03/05/91)

What's the difference?

Here we have all of these companies in MacUser,MacWorld, and MacWeek
selling quantum internal hard disks ... for different (and sometimes
widely so) prices.  Why?

I understand why there might be differences between prices on external
hard disks of the same type (more/less reliable power supplies, better/
worse cases, ...), but it doesn't seem to me that there would be any
difference at all between the hardware involved in the internal drives.
(except maybe the mounting brackets).

Can anyone help me out on this?

Thanks,

Brad
