Hello.. I'm thinking about purchasing a Western Digital 170MB (Caviar)
Hard Drive, but I don't know how good it is.  Could somebody PLEASE
tell me how fast it is, it's loudness(or quietness) compared to
the Conner, and how it compares against the Conner 170.  Is it bettr
or worse?  How much does it cost new?  Is there a phone number I can

call to find out (800)?  Anybody who lives in the Bay Area know a
place I can call to find out this info?  Thanks for everything...
