I just bought a Powerdrive from Hard Drives International.  It's
a Seagate ST-277N-1 (28ms model).  The drive formatted to 62 Megs
and is fast. (Given a Transwarp GS, System 5.0.2, disktimer resulted
in readings of 46/88/51 at a 3:1 interleave) Only drawback, say versus
an Ehman, is that it's LOUD, kinda like a squadron of F-15's.  But that
is solved with a SCSI extender cable and a remote power switch.

Powerdrive 60 -----   $539  ST-277N
Powerdrive 80 -----   $588  ST-296N (much better deal  $$/megabyte, 
                                     but I have my SCSI in slot 7
                                     and didn't want to move it to
		                     slot 5 so I could use more than
                                     two partitions per slot)

     One month no-hassle guarantee (includes disk upgrades), and
one year warranty on drives.
     This is the second drive I bought from them and I am quite pleased. When
my first one blew-up, I sent it back and got one back within three days!
I am not any way affiliated with or in the employ of Hard Drive I'ntl, just
a happy customer. See their ad in MacWorld and Computer Shopper.
