I have the version for the A1000, and it's VERY fast (400+ K/sec with a 65ms Seagate) and reasonably priced (case and everything else for $630 US (63 meg drive installed). The installation software has NO equal at all. It's easier than the Supra by far, and I own a Supra controller too... I cannot begin to say good things about it. The service is also excellent, I broke a cable and they had a replacement to me within 10 days.
