We bought a Fujitsu 68-MB drive from MacDirect. They were easy to deal with, and really seemed eager to help. It formats out to about 650MB with Silverlining, and is a bit noiser than the Imprimis Wren V 600MB and HP650 MB drives that we own (we have _very_ large online medical databases, in case you're wondering what we're doing with all this disk space.) SCSI evaluator shows it to have about the same performance as the WREN V drive, and somewhat lower perfomance than the HP drive (my personal favorite). We bought it because of the 5 year warranty, which is the same reason we bought the HP drive (from LaCie). Best regards, Brian K.
