  Hello,

	I have tested both of them, the 1.2GB ( formatted as 1.06 BG ) is not
         so good and the 760 MB ( formated as 650 MB ) is not bad. But there are
         BIG noise when access them.

                The price is in Taiwan is 1106 US$ for the 1.2 GB. I have heard that
         the company that manufactor this brand of disk is closed and now we
         see are the stocks they have. Maybe no warranty ...., So you need to
         take care when you buy them.

         FYI ...

Rich.
