I wouldn't call the Protege "*massive*".  I like the design.  Whipping out
my trusty Stanley measuring tape, I see dimensions of 5" x 4.5" x 9.5".

I like the drive; the construction appears solid, the pushbutton SCSI ID
is great (to me; I suppose it's standard these days), and, well, it works.
I got the Quantum 105 drive but unfortunately I'm going to have to return
mine just because I can get one from APS for much less, and use the money
saved for other things.
