  I'm thinking about getting a hard drive for my GS... no, make that I'm
  *going* to get a hard drive for my GS. Now the big question is, which
  one?

  At first, I was going to build my own, but after comparing costs, I
  found that it wasn't *that* much more expensive to buy a factory built
  one, thus getting a warranty, and technical support (hopefully).

  So far, best 'bang for your buck' drive I have found, is from Ehman.
  They even have a special 'Users Group' pricing, which is:

    20mb    $375
    30+     $425  (ST138N)
    45      $469  (ST157N)
    60+     $549  (ST277N)
    80+     $619  (ST296N)

  So, my question is, before I (and others in my users group) take the
  plunge, does anybody have any comments regarding the quality of Ehman,
  or the Segate drives they use? Or Alternatives? I have heard some
  mention of the fact that the 'Mac' documentation that Ehman sends with
  their drives is confusing (but *we* don't need to worry about that!)
  As well as a couple other 'dealing with the company' problems. But if
  the hardware is good, and they honor their 2 year warranty, then to me
  it sounds like a good deal.
