Now hold on just a minute.  I've had Micro-Sci disk drives for three years right now and have had no problems whatsoever with them.  At the time I purchased    them, they were half the cost of an Apple drive and at least $50 cheaper than 
Rana's.  My high school has had Micro-Sci drives for years without having any   problems; their Apple drives need speed adjustments every couple months or so.

I never had much luck using the Rana drives, as they're really not very 
compatible, particularly with copy-protected software.  I would suggest to the  author of the above that he choose his words more carefully next time.
