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. Gary Davis
