Care to give more details?

I have an 80 Meg Maxstore and a 40 Meg Micropolis in my machine, they
both seem to work like dreams and use the good ol' ST506 (primitive)
interface.  The Maxstore is not what I would call quiet but that is
its natural noise (sounds like a geiger counter), the Micropolis is
so silent I can't hear it over the fans in the computer.  I strongly
recomend either of these brands to anyone in the market for a high
quality hard disk.
Now for my question, does anyone have some good/bad experiences w/ the
WREN series of drives from CDC?  Specificaly the WREN II series which
acomodates the ST506 standard (they say).  If any CDC people are reading
this, feel free to reply, I have your multi-color glosies already though,
I just need info like prices and reliability figures (real ones that is).
