I'm finally in in the market for a hard disk for my Mega ST-2. A 40Mb, 28ms
unit is desired. I don't have lots of free time to roll my own like many 
of the folks that post to this newsgroup, so I am looking for recommendations 
for a good, reliable unit that will plug in and run with minimal hassle!
Supra, ICD, Atari, etc... what are the differences in quality and performance? 
Is there a unit that will fit IN my Mega, and, if so, is that a good idea?

Once I get a disk, what software utilities are recommended for back-up 
and maintenence?

Any and all comments will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
