If Quantum drives are so good (and I believe they are), why
go through a distribitor such as LaCie or CMS, etc ???
There are plenty of mail-order houses which ship Quantum drives,
complete with warranty. Sure, you won't have nifty partitioning
software, but who needs it. For the potential hundreds of $$ savings,
it's well worth the thought.

Just be careful you are not getting your external drive without
the case. Or your internal drive without the mounting bracket. Some
less than worthy mail places will pull stunts like that !!!

Best,
Joe.
