Well, there is a better 'deal', cost wise...The Jasmine DD40 uses the same
mechanism and is only $599! Though Jasmine is having to deal with supplier
problems after the Rodime fiasco, I would say that this is a better deal than
the Nova. Also the dd40 comes with SUM II and Redux.  The 40 to 45 Mb HD
range was recently reviewed in MacWorld and the reviewer's favs were the Jasmine
and La Cie. What I want to know is whether the raw Quantum 40s are just as
good.
