I recently saw an AD in the new MacUser (12/90):
40 MB Drive $299.00
Jasmine (Now a division of Chess)

Upon calling the 800 number, I was told that it contained a cItoh drive mechanism
with 25-28ms acess time.  I am certainly not a "performance" user, but looking
for an affordable hard drive.  Has anyone seen reviews of cItoh drives?
What is the "deal" with Jasmine?  Should I trust Jasmine/Chess with my money
and data???

			Thanks In Advance!
