It may tend to run cooler, and I believe MiniScribe is in financial trouble. I don't know if the Wren III is part of the product line Seagate bought from CDC, but in any case the company is stable. Of course both are good drives, and if you can get one a lot cheaper you might let your wallet decide. -- bill davidsen - sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX davidsen@sixhub.uucp ...!uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen "Getting old is bad, but it beats the hell out of the alternative" -anon
