I have been hearing some very good things about hard drives from Alliance
Peripheral Systems (APS). I called them to order a Quantum 105 meg drive
and the salesperson tried very hard to sell me a 120 meg drive. At $769,
it is only $70 more than the 105 meg drive and he said it is much faster.
Apparantly, it is a "depopulated" 170 meg drive and they have been selling
many of them.
 
Has anyone had any experiences with this drive? It sounds very good, but
I am hesitating because I have never heard anything, good or bad, about
it. Thanks in advance for any help.
