I've been using one of their 80 M drives for about 3 months, and it seems
just fine.  It uses the Quantum drive, which is fast and has a good MTBF -
about 50,000 hours, if I remember, which is over 5 years.

The included software is also very nice:  not only the usual drivers and 
partitioners, but some software to share and protect volumes, printers, and
(again, if I remember correctly) modems in an AppleTalk net.

The box is cheap - they only do direct sales.
