I tried to Email this, but it didn't work, so I'm just posting it.

I don't really know much about the drives you mentioned, but there was a
review of slightly larger drives in MacWorld about two months ago I
think.

I am sending you a copy of a posting I made a while ago about Everex
drives.  I have know had mine a month and I think it's great.  I carry
it to and from work daily, and I have had no problem with it at all. 
Give them a thought.  The price is pretty good.

Good Luck.

*************************************************************************

Everex is offering an educational discount on much of their equipment in
the
EMAC line.  This includes internal and external hard drives, tape units
and
scanner.  The discount is available to anyone associated with a
university.
They seem to measure that by whether they can ship it to you at some
university
address.  In addition, if you can wrangle a purchase order number they
will
ship to you and give you 30 days to decide to keep the unit.

Examples of prices are:
EMAC-40 Plus (19 ms access, external)  $629   best mail order ~$800
EMAC-60 Impact (29 ms access, external)  $695   best mail order ~$800

The 40 Plus uses a Quantum drive while the Impact series uses Epson
drives.
The guy to contact is Gil Takemori at (800) 821-0806 Ext. 2585.  He is
Associate Sales Rep.

Mention my name to him.  It won't make a difference in price, but I
think he
might be interested in seeing what kind of response this gets.  I'd also
appreciate it if you could me a message too.  I'd like to see how many
people
pick up on this.  I just happened on this deal, and I ended up getting
the 60
Impact HD for a SE I use.  Gil was extremely helpful, a pleasure to do
business
with.  He knows I'm posting this, but I'm doing it on my own initiative
in
response to all the inquires about what drives to buy.  By the way, the
80 meg.
Impact drive got a very good review in MacWorld this month and uses the
Quantum drive.  It is $958 through this deal.
