- I just got rid of a Maxtor 213 MB drive due to questionable performance. I
- have decided that I would like to replace it with two external 105Mb drives.
- I have decided on the Quantum LPS105 mechanism. The reason for choosing
- two drives is more of an effort to save data in case one of the drives fail.
- I have noticed that Mirror, LaCie, APS, etc. all box this model of drive.
- Can anyone reccommend a brand, and include the price, if possible?
- I also have a few questions:
-
- 1) Are external drives slower than internals?
- 2) Is the Quantum LPS105 a decent mechanism?
- 3) Is it quiet? (this is very important)
-
- I need to purchase these drives very soon (less than 36 hours), so any info
- would be great. Mailed replies are much preferred. Thank you.
