I'm in the market for a hard disk in the 40-Megabyte range.  I've narrowed
the field down to 3: 

1. The Cirrus 40 from LaCie (formerly Kammerman Labs) can be had quite cheap,
has great software, and is from a local company (just a few miles from
here).  The bad news is that the company has had some hard financial times
recently and some folks question its long-term viability.  I want to be
sure my manufacturer will be around to support me two years from now.

2. The Rodime 45 is more expensive, but is supposed to be very reliable.  It's
43 Megs instead of just 38 or 40, and it's available from two local dealers.  
However, it sits under the Mac and I'd much rather have a unit that sits 
beside it.

3. The Jasmine BackPac 40 is a little more expensive than the Rodime, but has
the advantage of portability.  However, it's brand new, so it has no track 
record.  Also, I'd have to mail-order from Jasmine, which has had a few
problems with speedy delivery.  (This is the drive that intrigues me the
most.)

Does anyone out there have any experiences with any of these drives, or the
companies that make them, that they'd like to share?  In particular, has 
Jasmine cleaned up its act?

Please respond via mail, and I'll summarize to the net.

P.S.  Anybody have any experience yet with FastBack?  Is it better than 
      DiskFit?
