Gentlepeople:

I'm in the final stages of ordering an SE for my own personal use.
The only option left to choose is the hard disk.

So, my question for the net is "Which one do you recommend that I
choose?".  Any good or bad experiences with any particular
manufacturer's drive?

My research has yielded the following info --
	1.  All 20 meg drives are slow (access time == 65 ms).  Many
manufacturers aren't building them anymore.
	2.  It lookes like you need to go to at least 40 Meg before
things get fast (29 ms for the Hyperdrive FI/40).  However, I can't
image needing more that 20 meg worth of online disk storage.

Please respond (via email) quickly, as I have to make a decision by Tuesday
(7/12).

Thanks in advance.  I'll summarize the results.
