I've narrowed my choices to a Miniscribe 8450 (42 mb, 45ms) or a Seagate product (ST-138 30mb, 40 or 28 ms or ST157 49mb, 40ms). The Miniscribe seems to be a better deal per mb than the Seagates, but is the quality/warranty/reputation any better or worse than the ST1XX drives. Please e-mail any/all opinions. adTHANKSvance.
