Also, you don't NEED a CMS brand drive to do the same thing.  You can easily
put together your OWN case and Seagate STXXXN drive at a much lower cost and
save yourself the hassle of poor power supplies.  I purchased from CMS a few
years ago and it took 3 replacements of faulty drives to finally get one drive
that works fine.  When it came to purchase another hard drive, I decided to
build my own.  Boy was I happy I did!  I saved myself an easy $300-400 on the
drive and I put it all in a Mac Crate case with a great powersupply.  It's
been running like a champ ever since.

If anyone is interested in building thier own hard drives, I have several
files that give you a step-by-step procedure for doing just that.  I should be
able to RCP or just mail the files to whoever is interested.  Leave mail if
you want the files.
