- I did extensive testing with my Insite and it is 3.5-4 times faster
- than the floppies. It is the SAME speed as an ST225N, which is about
- 2-2.5 times slower than the Syquest 44 Mb drive. Not alot of difference
- for the price. The Insite is still my choice. I like haveing 3.5
- inche media instead of 5 1/4 inch also. Plus the near future is
- going to see 40 and 80 MB versions of the Insite drive on the same
- media, that will mean the costs will be almost the same as current
- costs.
