I am thinking about the same drive, but:
	It currently (earlier this week) does not support the SE or MacII.
They predict that these will be supported one month after whenever you call.
	Someone I know of has had a drive on order for three weeks.  When
he called, they said it would be three weeks more.
	The drive is 29ms (fast) access time, and has no fan.

In other words, wait if you've got a newer machine, get a firm shipping
date, and order with a credit card so that you won't be billed until
they actually ship.  I am currently waiting for them to support the
newer machines, THEN I will buy, unless a better deal comes along. (Most
of the 30Mbyte drives around have 65-85ms access time)
