LaCie disks are beautiful.  I have an 80M on my MacII at work...  You can't
hear the machine go to disk; the only way I know about a disk access is if I
happen to notice the triangle flash up in the top left corner of the menu
bar.  Even then I've got to be fast and careful not to blink...  That's how
fast and quiet they run.  The price is great too.  My officemate has an 80M at
work and another 80M on his SE at home.  Neither of us have ever had problems.
Quite unlike the Jasmine 20M I've got at home that crashes on schedule.

We haven't used SilverServer much, and the repartitioning can be a little
tricky, but I give LaCie high marks.


    paco.
