Their ad on page 37 of this week's MacWEEK (25 July) says that they'll take anyone's drive ... working or not. With all the talk lately (from Chuq et al) about dead Jasmine hard disks ... maybe this could be a solution. So ... what's our consensus about Microtech products and service? Good? Bad? Fast? Slow? Quiet? Anyone tried the trade-in? (I'm not looking to buy a hard drive, so please _post_ your replies.)
