I have had experience with both of these models and I think it is a toss up
for which you might be interestes. If it is any help, the Mitsumi
[ my personal favorite ]  retails for about *1/3*[ no kidding ] 
of the price of the NEC. The NEC model I believe has a slower access 
time but faster Data transfer rate.  PLease don't make judgement on this 
stats, since I am just quoting from memory. 8-)
I had no problems installing either of them. You'll probably want to 
go with the NEC, since I take it you will want to use your
onborad SCSI. Very nice drive... A little pricy, but nice.
You also might wat to consider the Plexstor [sp? ]  Quad speed. 
It has a 1MB buffer that results in incredible speed  from sequential 
reads.
