I hear that it >is good, fast, but expensive. Yes, and yes, and yes. There are only two problems with it in my application: 1) it comes up too slowly, so that if there is also an internal disk, the internal always gets recognized (if you strap the AC power to a single switch). Thus, I have to turn it on first, and give it 15-20 seconds to spin up before I boot the Mac. 2) It's boot sector cannot handle A/UX partitions... so that you can't run it in partitioned mode with both A/UX and Mac OS [they are working on a fix for this one].
