I received a quick response to an earlier post I made today.  I am posting this

I have heard that HP has had technical problems with their 3.5" 1GB drive.  So,  
I guess the best option for NeXTstation people who want a large hard disk is to  
go with an external.  This negates the need to stick with the 3.5" format.
