Does anyone have experience with the new Cobra drive from Rodime.
I'm looking for a drive around 80-100 M, and a dealer I trust has
recommended the Cobra. I know Rodime is having difficulties, but
he insists that the drive is excellent and Rodime will recover.

Another trustworthy dealer recommends GCC. The problem here is that they
use the infamous Quantum 80. GCC claims they haven't had any trouble
with them but they've only been selling them since August, and people 
on the net have said the drives tend to fail after 3 months, just after
Apple's warranty is up.

I know there are other drive possibilities, but I prefer to buy drives
from local dealers. I've also been offered MicroNet, but they're a bit
pricey. Maybe they're worth it, since I hear they're good, and a main
concern of mine is avoiding future hassles.

Any help with deciding on a drive would be greatly appreciated.
