Thanks for posting the summary.  I am still unsure of which drive to
purchase.  On the one hand, BMUG recommends DPI's drive, yet it has
internal termination (and the person I called didn't know if it could
be converted to external termination.  I do like the fact that it is
vertically mounted, but I wonder if this might cause problems on other
horizontally mounted drives.

On the other hand, MacUser recommends Mac Products Magic 45 (and the
Hammer drive, but that's WAY too expensive), yet it doesn't seem to
have any diagnostic software, and that makes me a bit uneasy.

This was a good article except that I was very surprised that they
didn't list the noise levels.  I know they said that for the most part
they were the same, but still....

Question: What exactly is SilverLining, and why is it nice to have?
