Hi.

I might be in the position to get myself a hard drive in the next
couple of weeks, and I'm curious as to whether anyone has any knowledge
about the quality of the Ehman Engineering drives.  The prices on 
their external 32 Meg and 45 Meg hard drives looks ...

... well, when their 80 Meg is cheaper than the MacBottom 30 Meg from
MacConnection, this reminds me of the old $80 140K drives for the Apple //,
and this is a tad more expensive and important to break down soon.

According to MacWeek, it said "Don't go for price, go for how long the
company's been in business, etc etc," and Ehman's been around since 1985,
they do use Seagate, which is another big (and old) name, but I know zip 
about hard drives.

Anyone? Anything?

(Anyone have a favorite 32 Meg hard drive (or 45) (or 20, I guess)? External?)

Please e-mail responses, since I *know* this has cluttered the net before.
Back then I just didn't need to read it, darn.

Thanks!
