I am hoping to get some input (a general posting might be best since I am
sure that others may be interested) as to what external SCSI hard drives
Mac users may own and/or recommend. I am especially interested in
information regarding reliability, speed, software compatibility, noise
(either from the heads or from a fan, if it has one), price and company
support.
To start of the discussion, I have listed some of the ones I have been
looking at or have at least heard about are (with the lowest prices I have
seen to date) :
1) MD Ideas - HD 20 and HD 30 (fan, horizonatal design)
~$840 for 20 Meg, $1100 for 30 Meg
2) Lowdown 20 (no fan, horizontal design, gets pretty hot)
~$830
3) DataFrame 20 (no fan, vertical design)
~$830
4) ProAPP (horizonal design, fan?, SCSI, Mac512 or Apple II compatible)
~$800 for 10 Meg, $1000 for 20 Meg
5) AST-4000 (horizontal design, fan?, 74 Meg+, built in 60 Meg tape)
~$ ??? but high
6) Bernoulli Box (SCSI?? fan?)
~$ ???
7) Mirro Technologies MagNet20x (horizontal, included MacServe software)
~$ ???
8) Warp Nine Photon 20 (horizontal, fan?)
~$800
Thanks for any information or advice.
