I am planning to purchase an external SCSI drive for my Mac Plus in
the next week or so and would like to hear endorsements and/or flames
about the current drives on the market available via mail order. I am looking for a 40-60 Meg drive for home use.

I have been told that Quantum is the premier choice for the drive
mechanism itself but at least 6 manufacturers are offering the quantum
mechansm in many different enclosures. Does anyone know which
enclosures are better for heat, noise, power reliability, etc? Does
any manufactures offer a good selection of software bundled with the
drive (Jasmine used too but I am leary to buy from them since Ch. 11
filing.)

Please post here or e-mail. I will post a summary if there is any
clear concensus in responses.


Thanks,

Marc Briel
