I think that the EasyDrive uses a Seagate.  MacBriefs is selling them
now: $699 for 20 meg, $959 for 30 meg, $1229 for 40 meg, $1529 for
60 meg.  See the ad on the back of the current MacBriefs for more
info ( Is mentions the type of drive.  I don't have it in front of
me, which is why I am not certain that it said Seagate ( I opened my 40
up and took a look, but could not see the name on the disk ) ).

EasyDrive comes with no backup software or spooler, so add another $60 or
so to compare the above prices with other disks.

My dealer really likes the EasyDrive.  Mine is about a month old now and
the only problem I have had is a flakey LED.  They have an LED on the front
that flashes on disk access, and mine stops working about five minutes
after the disk is turned on.  Someday before the one year warranty runs
out, I suppose I will take it back to the dealer and get them to fix
the LED.

It's fan is not as noisy as my Hyperdrive fan, but the disk is louder than
the hyperdrive on accesses.
