Followup:  in response to a note made on my warranty reg card ("no manual
was included") they sent me one.  It is 34 laser-printed pages, fairly
complete and readable.

Revised summary: it's okay to buy from Third Wave if price matters and
  you don't need or want elaborate disk management software.
