I have heard of several people using this drive, some even
installing it internally to their station, so I am pretty sure it
works OK.  However, I would be interested to hear from those people
now on whether or not they are happy with their purchase.  I'm
considering buying one of these, also, and if anyone wants to talk
me out of it, please do.  Either post or e-mail and I'll summarize,
as inexpensive gig drives are often a popular subject. 

Thanks.
