	Hmm.. I have a question.  If Quantum hd's have their own cache
built in how does quick is it with the Apple High Speed SCSI?  If
anyone has this combination, could they please post some speed tests?
Also, I'd be interested in seeing results from a Quantum and RamFast
configuration.  Is the difference in speed with a Quantum & Ramfast
worth the price difference between say a Seagate & Ramfast?  

	I was thinking about just getting a regular Seagate hd, and a
RamFast for pure speed, but if the Quantum is comparable with the
Apple HS SCSI, it might be worthwhile to stick with a standard.

	Does anyone have any info on Connor mechanisms?  I've heard
they have a 16k cache.

	Thanks.
