I've noticed some sellers of the Quantum drives in MacWeek say that the drives have a seek time of 12ms. La Cie says 19ms, or 15ms with their optimization package(?). Are they all selling the same drives and just using different numbers/measuring different things, or are they selling different drives? -- Jim Gish GTE Laboratories, Inc., Waltham, MA CSNET: jgish@gte.com UUCP: ..!harvard!bunny!jwg1
