CMI's 20M drive bite the big one.  The ones that format to around 30M are
terrific.  They make an odd noise when you first turn on your system, but
they work great.  Core's disk test program says it has an access time of 37.4
mSec.  As I have previously posted, at $349, these drive are a spectacular
buy.

I have nothing to lose or gain whether you buy it or not, I just like them.
