We just bought a pair of 345 MB drives from Club Mac and are favorably
impressed. Each is a Maxtor XT-8380S drive in a DataCase case and with Unimac
software and the cable to attach it to the mac.
It has two 50-pin SCSI connectors and a switch for selecting the SCSI
address all mounted on the back of the case. Physically the case is
nicely made, 9.5" wide, 11" deep, 3.5" tall, which, I would guess, is sized
for fitting under an SE-style machine. It is quiet, and whenever I've
thought to check, the case is cool.
The unimac software seems to work just fine, although I haven't had the
time to really poke around and run timings tests and such. Seems fast, though.
Thus it seems like quite a good drive, and cost only $1755 or thereabouts.
Good value for the money. It took Club Mac about a week to deliver the
drive, but it was part of a large order, so other items might have caused
the delay.

I have no connection with Club Mac other than satisfactorily receiving the
single order I've given them.
