For 30Meg, I would say so. I haven't seen any cheaper. This month,
MacConnection is running a hardware special on 20Meg Rodime drives.
Complete with cable and backup software for $569. They are fanless
(read "no noise") and are extremely reliable. Rodime offers toll free
assistance and extended warranty also. Check out your MacUser
MacConnection advertisement. I plan on getting one at the end of this
week. I have heard nothing on the reliability factor of Novae.
Of course, this is assuming you will sacrifice 10Meg to save $100....
