The 15 ms version I know is a Quantum Since I have one. I really do like it and
I like the drive software and utilities that come with it (for the externals
you alsow get a padded carry case). One other thing to consider is that the
drives that Lacie sells that have the quantums in them now come with (I
beleive) a 5 year waranty. Compare that to Apples 90 day warranty for the
almost exact same drive (I day almost because the quantums that Apple uses have
had the firmware in them altered slightly so that they use apples driver. Stock
Quantums won't work with Apple's drivers).

I really like it and if I had the money, I would buy an 80M from them. I also
like their support (800 number).

hope this helps
