For what it's worth, I've purchased several Fujitsu 660meg drives from  
MacDirect, and don't have a thing to complain about (except that the color  
of the enclosure isn't black...  :-).  The oldest one of these is probably a  
year and a half old.  None of the drives have had any problems, but then  
again none of these drives are gigabyte models.

If you do buy Fijitsu's from MacDirect, make sure you mention that you're  
getting them for a NeXTstation.  They set the drive up a bit differently for  
NeXT's compared to Macs.
