I am about to buy a harddisk, at least 200 MB, but I have also looked at
other alternatives, up to 650MB.

What is the best ones to buy ? You can't get Quantum drives > 210MB,
and the best price/MB seems to be the 613MB Seagate WREN 5 for $1700
(external). But the $1500 337MB Seagate WREN Runner is a half-height
drive, and is a 10.7 ms access time.

Please tell me where to buy and where not to buy. Also experiences with
these drives. I want a drive I can trust, and that will not make too
much noise. Also what is better, Maxtor or WREN ?

Please E-mail as I do not have much time to read news these days. I am
studying for examn.
