Thanks to everyone who responded to my query related to the reliability
of General Computer Hyperdrives. I have decided to buy a Rodime
external 20meg drive for my Mac +.
To summarize the responses I got (both postings and E-mail):
- the FX-20 external drives by GC appear to be ok
- the internal drives were strongly NOT recommended as these
have caused a lot of heart-ache to their owners..
- GC is slow at upgrading their software when there is a new
Apple System release, this means that owners have to wait
for upto a few months before they can upgrade their system
folders and still have their HD function ok.
- a few people suggested that, considering what else is available,
they didn't feel that it was worth it to by a GC product unless
you have a good dealer who is very willing to go to bat for you.
Thanks again to all those who responded...
