They are within 150 dollars of each other. I blew the bearings on an Imprimis ST1201A (177Mb) which had been spinning continuously for 8 months and brought a Conner CP3204. I've been very satisfied with it, it seems much quieter then the Imprimis product (this is an important criteria for me, since the machine is a BBS in my living room). -- /* * * Otto J.
