- Get a Maxtor!! It is by far the quietest drive I've ever owned. I've had
- one in my Quadra 700 for a year now and you simply cannot hear it during
- normal running When accessing, it only makes a minor "groan" as
- compared to much louder "clicking" sounds from others.

- APS (800-645-5401) has the 213 meg drives for $499.
