I just picked up a 20M SCSI drive from MacConnection for $569, including
cable, and I'm quite happy with it. Although you mentioned 30M, I'd
thought I'd pass this on anyway. It is made by Rodime, sits under the
mac, and doesn't have a fan. In fact, it looks just like the pictures
of the Nova20 from microtech, sans logo. It is as quiet as my Dataframe
and disktimer II results as virtually identical to the dataframe 20 (non-
XP). It is larger, but much lighter, than the dataframe. Daisy chaining
was no problem. Drawbacks: heat production under mac may cause the mac
to run warmer than it would; changing address requires fiddling with
jumpers inside. But, the price is right. Warranty is 120 days, and
I probably don't need to mention that MacConnection has a great reputation.
