- Hello,
- I currently have a Plus with 20 meg Apple drive and an almost dead
- DataFrame 40 drive at home, and the usage is limited to 2-3 hours a days. I
- have been thinking about upgrading to a bigger (boot) drive but can't decide
- whether to get a removable Syquest (88 meg) or a ~120 meg ext. drive. I am not
- sure how useful a syquest drive would be for my purposes. The only reason I
- favor it is unlimited capacity as I find myself repeatedly running out of disk
- space (FTP junkie :^) Therefore the question is if the removable drive would
- be good choice for a boot/workhorse drive? If you have any comments for/against
- removables, I would like to learn from your experience. Thanks in advance.
