Don't buy them from Apple though. Get them from MicroTech (check out MacUser or MacWorld), A 40Meg HD with a FIVE YEAR WARRANTY costs around $570. I don't know why people buy from other dealers with this sort of thing available. I have no connection with MicroTech or Quantum, but I have installed 4 of their drives and haven't had any complaints. Jim
