I don't know what controller they use for there smaller drive (I only looked
at the large drives, 120+), but on there XP 150 they said that they use the
Control Data Wren-3 (along with Jasmine, and NuData).  They also use
Sputtered thin-film for there media where as CMS and Rodime use Plated
thin-film.  I have no idea which is better here, but I would be willing to
guess that since SuperMac uses a better controller that they also use a better
media, but that is only a guess.
