the store i work for just started selling these drives, (IDE, tho, rather than
 SCSI) and i think they are awesome! you can stick your ear on the case and 
it will boot SILENTLY!  very impresive..  attractive too   heheh

my problem is that i have no documentation at all, if you could send me
 anythingyou have in the way of specs, i would greatly appreciate it.

also, anyone know what IDE stands for?
thanks,
tim
