I just bought a 210Mb Quantum from APS after reading many recommendations for
them. It seems great so far, and about 50% faster than my old 80Mb Quantum.
It comes with adequate partitioning software, although I am told Silverlining
is better. The only surprise I got was that it is much more noisy than the old
80Mb which was almost completely silent. You can actually hear the head chug
backwards and forwards, like the floppy disk drives, but much faster.
