It would seem that such a drive would provide a more adequate base for a Next "slab". The price for a Conner drive is $1129(IDS) and I don't think the Maxtor would be far from that. Why isn't one of those drives available from Next. In any case they seem a cheaper upgrade to a usable machine than going all the way to 340mb. Does anyone have any reason these drives would not work in the Next? Would their be performance problems? Noise? Reliability?
