[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Removable Drives built around SyQuest

price@mpx1.lanl.gov (John W. Price) (01/10/90)

     I'm looking for a 40-45MB removable hard drive for my Mac+, and most 
of the ones I've found while looking through the latest issue of MacUser 
are based on the SyQuest mechanism.  Are they any good?  Do people have any 
complaints about them?  

     Also, how different are the various drives?  I found four different 
drives using this mechanism, from Cutting Edge, Mirror, PowerDrive, and 
Ehman.  FYI, the PowerDrive was the cheapest at $749, followed by Ehman at 
$799, Mirror at $849, and Cutting Edge at ~$889.  Is this price discrepancy 
for any good reason?  If so, I'd like to know before I buy...

     Please respond to me via Email at either the address in the header or 
in the sig. below, or post here.
