We just brought one Conner 4207S, 4.2GB SCSI, 7200RPM drive, internal
transfer rate some where 50-60MB/s, external SCSI II fast.  It's very
quiet, just like the 1GB 1060S we brought before. It also has 5 years
warrantee.  We brought from Hard Drive Super Source for $1068 plus
shipping.  The paper came with the drive saying it had one year
warrantee, but after called Conner they confirmed the drive does
have 5 years warrantee.  HDSS's phone number is (800)822-9977
