YES!  I've finally received my POWERDrive for HDI (Hard Drives International).
The first unit I received was DOA.  After one phone call, to a very pleasant
rep., and returning the dead drive I got a replacement within a week.  This is
a 105 MB external SCSI HD made for the Mac and includes Mac software.  I used
the software included with the HS SCSI card from Apple and partitioned it,
formatted it and verified it.  Formatted to a 1:1 interleave and hooked up to
a DMA interface this thing SCREAMS!  The HD has an internal cache that boosts
its speed and access times.  It benchmarks at 5ms avg. access!  If your
looking for a new HD, look into HDI (advertised in MacWorld and The Computer
Shopper, that I know of).  They have good HDs at excellent prices (mine went
for $699).      Gee...  Its Christmas already?
