Well, hard disk prices seem to be getting down into the reasonable area,
so I think it is about time to buy my mac a new toy to play with.
AND SO, IT IS TIME FOR YET ANOTHER DISK DRIVE SURVEY!
So, please send your comments, suggestions and advice to me here, and I
will summarize.
I am interested in:
1) Brand, model, size - please note if not scsi
2) Manufacturer of disk drive itself (if known)
3) Features (head parking, backup or other software, print spooling, etc.)
4) Comments on use:
a) Noise levels (does it have a fan?)
b) Comparative speed (folklore acceptable)
c) Software/hardware hitches, problems, misfeatures
5) Reliability
a) have you, or anyone you know, had problems?
b) what kind of support do/did you get?
6) Price and mail order availability
*) and, by the way, how do you feel about the mail order company?
