 A while ago I posted a plea for information concerning hard disk drives. I am
 in the market for one and I'm interested in what is being used out there.
 Whats good, bad? Why?
 
 For example, is the Supra any good? Is it slow/fast/noisy?
 
 Forget about that Amiga crap - I need some honest help here!

Frankly, I recommend everyone to buy ICD stuff, be it internal or external.
The problem of hard drives is much of a software nature and I think most
people agree that ICD's are the best. And then you can buy any of the
SCSI drives in the market. Mine is Conner Peripherals' SCSI drive housed
by a Japanese case and power supply, etc. and it is quieter than my MEGA ST.
The speed? It is rather slow but 570 KB per second, which isn't too bad (
I understand 500+ KB per second things are generally regarded as fast).

Cheers,
