Do companies in MacWorld really sell them that much cheaper? Last I checked, Hard Drives International is selling an External 105MB hard drive (Quantum mechanism - 16ms) with SCSI cable for $399 plus shipping and handling. In fact, according to their AD in the latest issue of _MacUser_, the following is available from them: MB Mechanism Access Internal External ------------------------------------------------------- 42 Seagate 28ms $219 $249 52lps Quantum* 17 $249 $299 80 Maxtor 17 $279 $339 105lps Quantum* 16 $349 $399 210 Maxtor 15 $639 $689 210 Quantum* 16 $639 $689 320 Maxtor** 14 $999 $1049 320 Micropolis** 14 NA $1199 660 Micropolis***16 NA $1599 1050 Micropolis***14 NA $2299 1050 Seagate*** 14 NA $2299 1500 Micropolis***14 NA $2699 * = 2 year replacement warranty (others have 1 year replacement warranty) ** = half height mechanism *** = full height mechanism I personally am using one of the 105MB Quantum mechanism drives and I LOVE it. It's fast, quiet, and hasn't given me any problems at all. -- Mike Crane Domain: garm@edsi.plexus.COM GEnie: M.CRANE Bang: ...spool!cserver!edsi!garm AOL: MIKE566 Fidonet: Michael Crane 1:139/650.6 "Silliness is not merely a need, it is a requirement." - Me
