      We sent an ordering form to a Mac dealer to buy a Jasmine 90 MB internal
hard drive. The dealer later offered us Rodime 108MB internal hard drive with
the same price of the Jasmine HD. The dealer claimed that Rodime was the prime
manufature of all the Mac internal hard drive, therefore it should be reliable.
      We know that there are many satisfied owners of the Jasmine HD in the  
net. Can anyone offer opinions and experiences with the Rodime 108 HD?  
We need to give the dealer a definite answer in two or three days.
      Here are some comparisons of the two HDs.

                              Jasmine 90MB         Rodime 108MB
Capacity after formatting        88.0Mb             102.0Mb
Average access time              16.5msec             28msec

      The price will be about $1400 for the both of them.
      Which one are you going for if they are both reliable?
