For those interested, I picked up a Seagate 277N (65Meg) drive at the D.C. AtariFest, and got similar performace figures to those posted for the 296N - ~55KB/sec for 1:1, and ~330KB/sec for 1:2. I was in desperate need of the extra space, so I wasn't too disappointed with having to go 1:2, and I really haven't noticed that much of a difference - should only show up on massive file moves. Then again, seeing 500+KB/sec on my other drive (the 30Meg mech. from my Supra 30) is enough to make me curious about tweaking 1:1 out of the 277N. I'm using a Supra host adaptor (from the old drive), Supra software, and Toad Computers' 1/2 height under the Mega style HD case -- a little pricey ($119), but I needed its form factor.
