Does anyone know >of any better deals anywhere? Yes! The miniscribe is not bad, but for a few hundred more you can get a drive with MUCH better performance, the Wren Runner. For now, MicroNet has an exclusive on this, and their prices are excellent (more companies will be distributing it in a few months). This unit has a REAL (not cached) access time of 10.7 ms, and a real transfer rate much higher than other Mac drives (even the other Wrens, which have been the performance leaders so far). If you need a large hard disk, you almost certainly need a fast one, and this is the fastest drive you can buy. Dealer price for the Runner is around $2600 external, $2300 internal. Price/performance with this drive is phenomenal... Alexis Rosen alexis@ccnysci.uucp
