I have purchased 4 of them and couldn't be happier. They are Quantum's new 3.5 inch drives. The mechanism operates at 19 ms but they have an on-board 64K cache which they claim gives you about 12 ms. I'm not quite sure if it is 12 ms, but they seem to be as fast or faster than my 90meg CDC Wren drive, which I had previously thought the fastest available. And the price is great. Hardware House has been prompt and courteous every time I've called. Joe Liemandt Stanford Univerity
