I've been looking for a 1 Gig or larger drive for my NeXTStation.  Thus, it
must be: SCSI,3.5,HH,and over 1 Gig.  To narrow my search, I went to
clari.streetprice and searched for the necessary parameters.  This is what I
got as of 11/6:

3 uhura> grep 1...MB streetprice|grep SCSI|grep HH

Toshiba MK538FB;1200MB;SCSI;3.5 ;HH;12ms;       ;1550;S.A.G. Electronics 

Now, these are only internal drives, which is what I want since I don't want
an extra box to lug around whenever I move, and since I don't have a drive
in my Station at the moment, I've got a free bay to put it in.  (Don't ask,
it's a long story)
MY POINT: Is the Micropolis a good drive?  Has anybody in NeXTLand had any
experience with it as an internal drive?  Heat problems?  Media problems?  I
hate Seagate, and I haven't heard anything about the Toshiba, but I am open
to suggestions if you have.  It basically boils down to the Micropolis or
the Toshiba due to price.  Which to choose?

Thanks in advance.
